One other Firefox add-on that allows you to see the *generated* source is "Web Developer" toolbar:
http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/
Click on the "View Source" menu, and then choose "View Generated Source."

Web Developer, along with Firebug, is a must-have extension. Also, look closely at that page ... Chris Pederick is using jQuery!

You'll never see it in the 'view source' if its dynamically added. If you
use the Inspect function of firefox you can see the dynamically added
content. I think the IE developer toolbar does the same thing.

Make sure that you are setting the length of the selects option array and
setting a text/value pair for each entry in the drop down.

When you say 'no results', what do you mean? No results when you submit the
form?

With the select plugin I get the same results.
Added the form tag. Still no results.

Btw, I noticed that even though in Firefox the dropdown does get
populated, at view source there is no list of schools....

Thanks for the suggestion guys.

FWIW, I've never had any problems with id and name being the same on
controls in IE. I don't see a <form> tag on the page, maybe that's the
issue?

You might also want to try this:

Could it be because you're name and id are identical?

<select name="SchoolID" id="SchoolID">
</select>

Perhaps IE doesn't like this?

Just a guess.

    Hello everyone,

    I have a script that basically just reads some data from an xml
file,
then the data gets loaded into a <select> dropdown, by dynamically
    creating <option> tags.

    Here's the working sample:
   http://yazmedia.com/sandbox/

View source for the code. XML:http://yazmedia.com/sandbox/ data.html

    It works fine in Firefox, but in IE 7 or 6 it doesn't. I tried
    using a
function "addOption()" that I found online, to see if at least I was doing something wrong in my code, but still neither option works.

    Anything that could shed a little light into this would be much
    appreciated.
