Remove values from select list based on condition

Give an id for the select object like this:

<select id="mySelect" name="val" size="1" >
    <option value="A">Apple</option>
    <option value="C">Cars</option>
    <option value="H">Honda</option>
    <option value="F">Fiat</option>
    <option value="I">Indigo</option>                    
</select> 

You can do it in pure JavaScript:

var selectobject = document.getElementById("mySelect");
for (var i=0; i<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.
