  • 0

I want to populate a drop down list with a set of values, from 1,2,…. 100. Currently, I am doing this and its not working.

In the head section

<script type="text/javascript" src="./jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var select = document.getElementById("selectAge");
    var options = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"];
    for(var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
        var opt = options[i];
        var el = document.createElement("option");
        el.textContent = opt;
        el.value = opt;
        select.appendChild(el);
    }​
</script>

And, then in the form, I have

<label>Age</label>
<select id="selectAge"> 
    <option>Select your age</option>        
</select>

The drop down is not populated with a single value. I mean, I don’t understand why its not happening. One correction might be to put the java script code just before the closing </body> tag, as its supposed to be populated only after the DOM is loaded. But I have even tried that and it does not work.
