Well i skipped the idea of somekind of object all together, first i split out the banks from document, then i split banks into an array "each element holding a bank", then i read out the bankname "first line" and after that i split each bank into an instrument array creating the option lists to select bank and instrument using innerHTML.

The downside is i have to split and read in instruments everytime i change bank. The upside? i do not have to have all banks in memory or as an object. Well in i a way i have each bank is an array element, splitted again and again and again at bank change... Maybe not ideal but bankchange hardly a time critical event.
