Question

I am trying to write some javascript that will automatically take text in a html ul list and then output it as a drop down. Here is what I have so far: http://jsfiddle.net/KRWHP/

The problem of course is that the code doesnt go through each list item and output it in its own option tag.

Answer 1

$("li").each(function () {
    $('<option />').text($(this).text())
                   .val($(this).text())
                   .appendTo("select");    
});

Your fiddle, re-fiddlified.
