You cannot update the contents of a select using html() (which is similar to
Prototype's update() function). The only way to alter the options of a select
cross-browser is to do the following:
1. Make a structure of your new elements, something like:
var newOptions = [['one','One'],['two', 'Two'],['three', 'Three']]
2. Remove all of the existing options:
myPicker.options.length = 0;
3. Loop through your array of new options, and build them up one at a time into
options on the now-empty picker:
for(i = 0; i < newOptions.length; i++){
myPicker.options[myPicker.options.length] = new
Option(newOptions[i][0], newOptions[i][1];
}
Hope this helps,
