Is there a recent example of dynamically loading a dropdown? I have done this with standard jquery and it doesn’t seem to work, like the following (not actual code, just example):

var s= $(‘#mySelect’);
s.options[s.options.length]= new Option(‘My option’, ‘1’);

Thanks,

Tom

Hi trn579s,

Please try with the next code:

$('select[name="combobox1"]').append(new Option("option 1","1") );

Thanks Octavio!

Your method worked just fine, the issue was trying to call the element by element id instead of name:

    //works
    $('select[name="somecombo"]').append(new Option("option 1", "1"));

    //works
    $('select[name="somecombo"]').html("<option value='1'>Some oranges</option><option value='2'>More Oranges</option><option value='3'>Even more oranges</option>")

    //does not work
    $('#somescreenid-somecombo').html("<option value='3'>Some oranges2</option><option value='2'>More Oranges2</option><option value='3'>Even more oranges2</option>")

While you can use JQuery #screenid-elementid for retrieving values, it seems you have to use the name= instead when inserting. Any idea why that would be the case?

Thanks!
