FireBugs HTML view also shows generated source.

I had problem with IE and selects earlier. Found out that it needs  
both .val() and .append() calls. Maybe this is same problem. Check

If you

use the Inspect function of firefox you can see the dynamically added
content. I think the IE developer toolbar does the same thing.

Make sure that you are setting the length of the selects option  
array and

setting a text/value pair for each entry in the drop down.

When you say 'no results', what do you mean? No results when you  
submit the

form?

With the select plugin I get the same results.
Added the form tag. Still no results.

Btw, I noticed that even though in Firefox the dropdown does get
populated, at view source there is no list of schools

Thanks for the suggestion guys.

It works fine in Firefox, but in IE 7 or 6 it doesn't. I tried

[Chris Jordan]

Yaz,

View Source will never show you dynamically generated content. Download the
FireFox extension: View Source
Chart.
It's quite handy, and shows you dynamically generated content. It's often
helped me to figure out problems where I really need to know what the
generated markup looks like.

Cheers,
Chris

FWIW, I've never had any problems with id and name being the same on 
controls in IE. I don't see a  tag on the page, maybe that's the 
issue?
