document getElementById this  innerHTML         Put it inside your if-case  What it does is just to check for the current object within the document and replace it with nothing  You ll have too loop through the list first  I am guessing you are already doing that since you have that if

As some mentioned the length of the select element decreases when removing an option  If you just want to remove one option this is not an issue but if you intend to remove several options you could get into problems  Some suggested to decrease the index manually when removing an option  In my opinion manually decreasing an index inside a for loop is not a good idea  This is why I would suggest a slightly different for loop where we iterate through all options from behind   var selectElement   document getElementById  selectId     for  var i   selectElement length - 1  i  gt   0  i--     if  someCondition        selectElement remove i           If you want to remove all options you can do something like this   var selectElement   document getElementById  selectId     while  selectElement length  gt  0      selectElement remove 0

You may use   if   frm product value   F         var  select box       name val          select box find   value A   value C    remove         Update  If you modify your select box a bit to this   lt select name  val  size  1   gt     lt option id  A  value  A  gt Apple lt  option gt     lt option id  C  value  C  gt Cars lt  option gt     lt option id  H  value  H  gt Honda lt  option gt     lt option id  F  value  F  gt Fiat lt  option gt     lt option id  I  value  I  gt Indigo lt  option gt                       lt  select gt     the non-jQuery solution would be this  if   frm product value   F         var elem   document getElementById  A        elem parentNode removeChild elem       var elem   document getElementById  C        elem parentNode removeChild elem

If you are using JQuery  it goes as follows   Give an ID to your SELECT   lt select name  val  size  1  id  val  gt   lt option value  A  gt Apple lt  option gt   lt option value  C  gt Cars lt  option gt   lt option value  H  gt Honda lt  option gt   lt option value  F  gt Fiat lt  option gt   lt option value  I  gt Indigo lt  option gt                       lt  select gt       val option value  A    val option value  C     remove

Give an id for the select object like this    lt select id  mySelect  name  val  size  1   gt       lt option value  A  gt Apple lt  option gt       lt option value  C  gt Cars lt  option gt       lt option value  H  gt Honda lt  option gt       lt option value  F  gt Fiat lt  option gt       lt option value  I  gt Indigo lt  option gt                       lt  select gt     You can do it in pure JavaScript   var selectobject   document getElementById  mySelect    for  var i 0  i lt selectobject length  i          if  selectobject options i  value     A           selectobject remove i       But - as the other answers suggest - it s a lot easier to use jQuery or some other JS library

A few caveats not covered in most answers   Check against multiple items  some should be deleted  some should remain  Skip the first option  -Select-  on some option lists  A take on these  const eligibleOptions     800000002    800000001    let optionsList   document querySelector  quot select edit-salutation quot    for  let i   1  i lt optionsList length  i          if eligibleOptions indexOf optionsList options i  value      -1            cbxSal remove i           i--

To remove options in a select by value I would do  in pure JS        document getElementById  val   options       filter o   gt  o value      A     o value      C        forEach o   gt  o remove

Alternatively you can also accomplish this with getElementsByName         lt select id  mySelect  name  val  size  1   gt   lt option value  A  gt Apple lt  option gt   lt option value  C  gt Cars lt  option gt   lt option value  H  gt Honda lt  option gt   lt option value  F  gt Fiat lt  option gt   lt option value  I  gt Indigo lt  option gt                       lt  select gt     So in matching on the option value of  C  we could remove Cars from the list   var selectobject   document getElementsByName  val   0   for  var i 0  i lt selectobject length  i     if  selectobject options i  value     C        selectobject remove i
