title: Is there a faster way to empty a HTML Select box?
body: <p>I have an HTML Select box with about 1800+ options.  In my javascript I have the following line to empty the select box so I can repopulate it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>box.options.length = 0; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In Firefox this runs fairly quickly, but IE takes a couple of seconds.  Is there a faster way to do this in IE?</p>
