In an ASP.NET web application, I am using the standard list box server control and I am adding items to with client side script. When the page posts back, the added items are not available on the server.

What do I have to do to make the items available on the server after a post back
 
I guess that would make sense if you think about it. Once the page is
rendered, there is no communication back to the server.

You either have to deal with the post back each time or be a bit more
creative.

How about sending a quick note to the server from javascript to fill a
database on the server side... Maybe someone else has a method of getting
the contents of the drop down on the server and then re-writing it.

My method is a bit messy, but makes for a clean user interface.... I keep
the data for the drop down in a database on the server and update the server
each time I update the drop down on the client side..

s_xml stores a small xml dataset for the one item that is added

var xml_http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

var xmlSend_doc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlSend_doc.async = false;

xmlBack_doc.async = false;
xmlSend_doc.loadXML(s_xml)
