It only took like five minutes to switch to using .append(). In the
beginning it's how I would have done it to begin with.
However, the plug-in is here:
http://sam.collett.googlepages.com/addOption.html and I've already
written code that breaks it.
<html>
<head>
<title>Select Test Page</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/include/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script>
var a = new Array;
a[0] = "jQuery";
a[1] = "really";
a[2] = "rocks!";
function PopulateSelect(){
for(var i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
$("#MySelectID").addOption(a[i], a[i], false);
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id="MySelectID" name="MySelect"></select>
<input type="button" value=" Populate " onclick="PopulateSelect();">
</body>
</html>
I hadn't gotten the chance to post it on my personal site so folks could
look at it, but now I'm not sure there's a need. It'd be nice if the
plug-in worked too, but like you said, don't push code that you don't
need down to the browser. :o)
I think I'm using the plug-in in one or two more areas, but those pages
have not been upgraded to jq1.1 just yet. :o)
Thanks,
Chris

Hmm... It might be trivial, but that means I have to write code that will
decide if an option is selected or not rather than passing a boolean.
I used to be able to do this:
$("##Classification_ID").addOption("myValue",
"myOptionDisplay", (a[i].toUpperCase() == "RN"));
The last bit would evaluate to a true or false, and either select the
option or not. It's was a handy shortcut. Well, I'll overcome it.
Jörn: I was able to get a small sample to break, but since it appears that
what the dev folks want is for us to .append and .prepend, I'll do that.
Whatever is faster. :o)
No, I just wanted to make sure you knew it was possible to do without
the plugin. I would encourage you to make it as simple on yourself as
possible. If you are already using the plugin, I wouldn't drop it.
Sometimes, bug fixes like the select element get overlooked and I just
wanted to try and spread the word. :)
If you could post a link to the actual plugin, I can setup a simple
test case and see if we can find the issue.
