How to add option to select list in jQuery

Question

My select list is called dropListBuilding. The following code does not seem to work:

 for (var i = 0; i < buildings.length; i++) {
     var v         


        

Answer 1

Don't make your code so complicated. It can be done simply as below by using a foreach-like iterator:

$.each(buildings, function (index, value) {
    $('#dropListBuilding').append($('', { 
        value: value,
        text : value 
    }));
});
