I have an empty drop down list in HTML. I am trying to add new attribute into the list using .createElement('option') method. However, the item i want to add has name, address, and phone number so how can i add,as an object, into drop down list? Thank you for reading it.

2Have you considered adding a string representation of the object (e.g. `Joe Egan (San Diego, CA) @ 858-876-5309`)? – J0e3gan Jul 28 '15 at 23:59

Could found your answer [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3245967/can-an-option-in-a-select-tag-carry-multiple-values). Display only a text with multiple value option. – Neo Jul 29 '15 at 02:30

Im not sure if this is what you wanted, I got it from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLSelectElement/add
var sel = document.getElementById("existingList");
var opt = document.createElement("option");
opt.value = "3";
opt.text = "Option: Value 3";
sel.add(opt, sel.options[1]);
[Edit]
Im pretty tierd and the code is not the best. Maybe you can play around with it and see if it fits your code.
var sel = document.createElement("droplist");
var opt1 = document.createElement("OPTION");
var opt2 = document.createElement("OPTION");
var opt3 = document.createElement("OPTION");
var information = {
names: ["nameOne", "nameTwo"],
addresses: ["adressOne", "adressTwo"],
names: ["phoneOne", "phoneTwo"],
informationFunction: function additem(){
opt1.value = "1";
opt1.text = this.addresses[0];
opt2.value = "2";
opt2.text = this.addresses[1];
opt3.value = "3";
opt3.text = this.addresses[3];
sel.appendChild(opt1);
sel.appendChild(opt2);
sel.appendChild(opt3);
}
};
information.informationFunction();
