adding items to combo box [Archive]

I want to dynamically add items to a dropdownlistbox (combobox) on my ASP
page, but the intellisense makes no sense to me (I thought this would be
simple -- maybe it is, but so am I...)

This code in the window's onload event:

ComboBox.Add "test"

returns a type mismatch error.

I thought perhaps I could use an ActiveX control for the dropdown instead,
but there is no combobox or dropdown box listed under the ActiveX section of
the toolbox in
VID, and I can't figure out where to browse for it.

I have uploaded the code to
http://www.bytesizedsystems.com/onlineCVC/electricCVC3.asp

Can anyone tell me what it is I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
