Acculon, that is helpful, though not exactly what I need. Anyway, I'm making some progress.
Does anyone know exactly how to replace the contents of a SELECT? In other words, I have a bunch of options that I want to build up then pass back via AJAX to the select list. But I can't seem to get it to work exactly right. I'm having to encapsulate the entire select list by a DIV and then replace the entire contents of the DIV, select list and all options.
