Adding Options To A Using JQuery?

Answer :

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.

1. $('#select').append($('<option>', {value:1, text:'One'}));

2. $('#select').append('<option value="1">One</option>');

3. var option = new Option(text, value); $('#select').append($(option));
