How do you remove all the options of a select box and then add one option and select it with jQuery?
$('#mySelect') .find('option') .remove() .end() .append('<option value="whatever">text</option>') .val('whatever');
$('#mySelect') .empty() .append('<option selected="selected" value="whatever">text</option>');
why not just use plain javascript?
document.getElementById("selectID").options.length = 0;
