Does this work?
$('#select_project').html(options).attr({ size: ''+dropsize });
-Mike
p.s. I note that you're taking care to use double quotes for your HTML
attributes - that's a Good Thing. A suggestion: Instead of having to keep
track of when to use double quotes for your JavaScript strings and when to
use single quotes (because there's a double quote inside the string), I've
found it easier to simply use single quotes for all of my JavaScript strings
- then I only have to switch to double quoted strings in the much rarer
cases where I need a single quote inside the string. (Of course you can
always use backslash, but that's ugly.)
