Question

I am having the below code for population the select box dynamically.THis works fine in all browsers except FireFox 3.6

var option25 = document.createElement("option");
option25.text = '25 miles';
option25.value = 25;
if(rad == '25')
{
    option25.selected = 'selected';
}
var combo = document.getElementById('ddlProximity_' + controlId);
combo.add(option25); //not working in FF3.6

Any suggestions

Answer 1

Assuming combo is a select menu, see this jsFiddle example.

if (typeof combo.add === 'function') {
    combo.add(option25);
} else if (typeof combo.appendChild === 'function') {
    combo.appendChild(option25);
}
