Hmm. I wrote a response, but it hasn't appeared - RobG posted while I
was writing it, and I suspect it didn't get posted for that reason.
Anyway, I basically talked about the same things RobG has said - that
add() needs to args, the second being a reference to the option which
the new option will be placed right before, and IE needs that argument
as an integer rather than an object like everybody else. So a code
snippet for inserting a new option into a select element at a specific
position across browsers might look something like this:
var sel = $("TheSelectBox");
var nextOpt = document.all? (code to create an integer for IE) : (code
to get an Option object);
sel.add(new Option("apple",1),nextOpt);
And if you want it at the end of the list, nextOpt should be null.
My problem's solved, then. I can use this to insert new options while
maintaining alphabetical order within the list. Thanks for the help,
people.
