How to populate dropdownlist with JSON data as ajax response in jQuery

Question

I am working on a j2ee application. In my application I have a drop-down list(or Select element). I want to populate this drop-down list with JSON data as a Ajax response.

Answer 1

The simplest way is to download this library https://github.com/JocaPC/jquery-view-engine/tree/master/src . This JQuery library directly loads JSON into dropdows and looks like a perfect match for your example. You just need to put the following code:

success: function (data) {
            $('#ch_user1').view(data.aaData); 
}

Take a look at this page https://jocapc.github.io/jquery-view-engine/docs/ajax-dropdown for more details.
