HTMLOptionsCollection: length property
The length property of the HTMLOptionsCollection interface returns the number of elements in the collection. The property can get or set the size of the collection.
When setting length to a value smaller than the current, the options collection gets truncated; otherwise, new blank elements are appended to the end of the .
Value
An integer value representing the number of items in this HTMLOptionsCollection.
Example
js
const optCollection = document.getElementById("fruits").options;
const origLength = optCollection.length;
optCollection.length += 50; // adds 50 blank options to the collection
optCollection.length = origLength; // truncates the list back to the original size
