Adding options to a select and selecting one on internet explorer

Question

I have a select, and I am filling the options using javascript. Something like

    var select = document.getElementById(\"selectBox\");

    for (var i = 0;          


        

Answer 1

Use add instead of appendChild:

select.add(option);

Also, using the Option constructor can save you some lines of code:

var option = new Option(data[i].name, data[i].id);
