2. javascript: var p = ‘live.’; var ds = new Array(‘com’, ‘cn’, ‘fr’, ‘it’, ‘nl’); for (var i = 0; i < ds.length; i ++){document.getElementById(‘idomain’).options[i] = new Option(p + ds[i], p + ds[i])} alert(‘domains added’);
3. Copy and paste the javascript present in step 2 into the address bar and press enter to execute it. The script adds a “Live.com” option to the drop-down menu of domain choices.
