Question

I cannot seem to find it. Thanks!

Example:

$("#MySelect").append(new Option("MyOption", "MyOption", true, true));

Answer 1

The Mozilla Dev Center is the de facto standard documentation site for all things JavaScript.

option element reference:

• HTML <option> element
• HTMLOptionElement interface (which is implemented by the above)
• W3C HTMLOptionElement interface spec

Since you’re using jQuery, however, there’s a better way to construct elements.

$('#MySelect').append('<option></option>',
{
    text: 'MyOption',
    value: 'MyOption',
    selected: true
})

_{I’m not sure what the last true argument should do – at least in Chrome, new Option('text', 'value', true, true) seems to return the same thing as new Option('text', 'value', true).}
