How do you create a dropdown list dynamically using jQuery? By dropdown list, I mean a <select> with its associated <option> values.
Just create the elements like any element.
Example:
var data = {
'foo': 'bar',
'foo2': 'baz'
}
var s = $('<select />');
for(var val in data) {
$('<option />', {value: val, text: data[val]}).appendTo(s);
}
s.appendTo('body'); // or wherever it should be
In its simplest form,
var opt = "<option> -- Select -- </option>";
$(opt).wrap('<select />');
$('#some-container-div').html(opt);
