Galen,
This may be of little help, but might get you pointed in the right
direction...
The following code works in FF 1.5.0.7 (PC):
// dummy data
var routes=new Array();
routes[0]="Zero";
routes[1]="One";
routes[2]="Two";
var options="";
for(i = 0; i < routes.length; ++i) {
options += ' <option value="' + routes[i] + '">' + routes[i] +
'</option>\r\n';
}
options += "</select>";
$("#routeselect").html(options);
However, it bombs (empty <select>) in both IE6 and O9...
