I m newbie in jquery space and hope to learn much through Stackoverflow.

I have a Sharepoint 2010 list data item which has Choice data type allowing a user to checkbox more than one value. I m using SPService to get the list items. Below is the code:

    $().SPServices({
                  webURL: 'http://abc.def.com/Products',
                  operation: 'GetListItems',
                  listName: listName,
                  async: false,
                  CAMLQuery: query,
                  CAMLViewFields: fields,
                  CAMLRowLimit: 11,

                  completefunc:
                  function (xData, Status) 
    {        $(xData.responseXML).find("[nodeName=z:row]").each(function () 

    {
           $("#ProdList").val("-1");//Pre-filled with selected val.
           var myProd= $(this).attr("ows_Prod"); //displays in this format ;#myProd1;#myProd2;#

          //Here 1. i want to store myProd as an array.
                 2. eliminate ;#
                 3. store final array elements as myProd1, myProd2
                 4. Display myProd1
                            myProd2
                                    in the dropdown list.
           //


           $("#ProdList").append('<option>' + myProd+ '</option>');
      });   
    }

     });      

     });

    <body>
    <select class="Dropdowns" id="ProdList">
    <option value="-1">My ProdLists</option>
    </select>
    </body>
  Any pointers? Thanks.

    It’s a bit hard to figure out what the specifics are of your question. I’m guessing that the comments in your code are describing the question. Next time, I’d suggest you be a lot more specific with the details of your question in your text, not in the code. But, given that, here’s my guess at what you’re trying to do.

    You have a string that looks like this:

    ";#myProd1;#myProd2;#"

    And, you’d like to get myProd1 and myProd2 into an array and then from that array added to a drop-down list.

    // get product list
var myProd = $(this).attr("ows_Prod");
// clean up the ends
myProd = myProd.replace(/^;#|;#$/g, "");
// split into pieces
var myProdArray = myProd.split(";#");
// add each piece as an option to the drop-down
for (var i = 0; i < myProdArray.length; i++) {
    $("#ProdList").append('<option>' + myProdArray[i] + '</option>')
}

    You can sort the array in dictionary order with:

    myProdArray.sort();

    You can remove dups from a sorted array with this:

    var noDupArray = [];
noDupArray.push(myProdArray[0]);
for (var i = 1; i < myProdArray.length; i++) {
    if (myProdArray[i] != myProdArray[i-1]) {
        noDupArray.push(myProdArray[i]);
    }
}

    So, if you wanted to both sort and remove dups, you could use this code:

    var myProd = $(this).attr("ows_Prod");
myProd = myProd.replace(/^;#|;#$/g, "");
var myProdArray = myProd.split(";#");
// sort
myProdArray.sort();
// remove dups
var noDupArray = [];
noDupArray.push(myProdArray[0]);
for (var i = 1; i < myProdArray.length; i++) {
    if (myProdArray[i] != myProdArray[i-1]) {
        noDupArray.push(myProdArray[i]);
    }
}
// add each piece as an option to the drop-down
for (i = 0; i < noDupArray.length; i++) {
    $("#ProdList").append('<option>' + noDupArray[i] + '</option>')
}
