Adding options to a <select> using jQuery?
Personally, I prefer this syntax for appending options:
$('#mySelect').append($('<option>', { value: 1, text: 'My option'}));If you're adding options from a collection of items, you can do the following:
$.each(items, function (i, item) { $('#mySelect').append($('<option>', { value: item.value, text : item.text }));});
This did NOT work in IE8 (yet did in FF):
$("#selectList").append(new Option("option text", "value"));This DID work:
var o = new Option("option text", "value");/// jquerify the DOM object 'o' so we can use the html method$(o).html("option text");$("#selectList").append(o);
You can add option using following syntax, Also you can visit to way handle option in jQuery for more details.
$('#select').append($('<option>', {value:1, text:'One'}));
$('#select').append('<option value="1">One</option>');
var option = new Option(text, value); $('#select').append($(option));
