IE7/8 and Safari, but not FF are showing dropdown menu items out of alphabetical order when they're pulled in to a separate div, does anybody have any hints as to how it could be put into order
Here's the current HTML: <div class="fill_container"> <div class="fill_me"></div><!-- .fill_me --> </div><!-- .fill_container --> <select id="select"> <option class="btext_1" value="1">btext 1</option> <option class="atext_2" value="2">atext 2</option> <option class="ctext_3" value="3">ctext 3</option> </select> Here's the current JS: $(document).ready(function(){ $("#select option").each(function(){ var itemClass = $(this).text(); $('.fill_me').append('<a href="#"><img src="' + itemClass + '.gif" class="' + itemClass + '" alt="' + itemClass + '" /></a>'); }); }); Here's the goal generated HTML: <div class="fill_container"> <div class="fill_me"> <a href="#"><img src="atext_2.gif" class="atext_2" alt="atext_2" /></a> <a href="#"><img src="btext_1.gif" class="btext_1" alt="btext_1" /></a> <a href="#"><img src="ctext_3.gif" class="ctext_3" alt="ctext_3" /></a> </div><!-- .fill_me --> </div><!-- .fill_container -->
