Im trying to modify the text of the first select option via javascript.
But it empties the entire select option

 <select name='stuff'>

      <option value=a> Pepsi </option>

      <option value= b> Juice </option>

 </select>





<script type=text/javascript>

    document.getElementsByName('stuff')[0].innerHTML = Water;

</script>

You want to read from the options collection and modify the first element in there:

document.getElementsByName('stuff')[0].options[0].innerHTML = Water;
