Why create a new option when you just want to modify the attributes of
the one that is there?

      var o = scrollList.options[scroll_list.selectedIndex];
      o.value = t_area.value;
      o.text = t_area.text;
   }

Anyhow, if you wanted to create a new option, use:

      var updated = new Option(t_area.text, t_area.value, false, true);

(false sets the option's defaultSelected property to false, true sets
the option to selected).

Because IE doesn't let you modify the properties of new options
directly, so either modify an existing option or use new Option() to set
the values when the option is created.
