Question

i currently have an empty drop down list that I would like to fill with some data I got from my database using javascript.
I really have no idea how to do this so right now I am trying this.
Javascript with JQuery.

for (var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
  {
  var code$=data[i].String1;
  var desc$=data[i].Code_Description;
  var str$=$('<option value='+code$+'>'+desc$+'</option>');
  option$.append(str$);
  }
   $('#offCode').html(option$); 

I have also tried

$('#offCode').append(option$); 

but none of this works

Thanks

Answer 1

Try using something like:

for (var i=0;i<data.length;i++) {
      var code$=data[i].String1;
      var desc$=data[i].Code_Description;
      $('<option value='+code$+'>'+desc$+'</option>').appendTo($('#idOfSelectElement'));
}

The above, obviously, relies on the variables being properly retrieved and filled from your ajax/database-call.
