Dynamic Dependent select box

I'm trying to build a test case of a dynamic dependent select box using mysql/php, ajax, jquery. Should be streight forward but I having problems.

Here is the test page:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>

	  	<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
		<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.2.1.min.js"></script>
   
      	<script type="text/javascript">
           $(document).ready(function(){             
               $("#depth").change(function(){
                     var depth=$("#depth").val();
                     $.ajax({
                        type:"post",
                        url:"support_get.php",
                        data:"depth="+depth,
                        success:function(data){
                              $("#Sup_lft").html(data);
                        }	
                     });		
               });
           });
      </script>
</head>
<body>

Depth :
        <select name="depth" id="depth">    
        <?php
        include "support_db.php";
		
        $result=mysql_query("SELECT Category,Series,Glass_Support,Finish,Key_2 FROM Form_Content WHERE Category='Depth' and Series='CRY140-2'");
		 while($depth=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
        	echo "<option value=$depth[Key_2]>$depth[Finish]</option>";
        } ?>
        </select>
         
 
        Support :
        <select name="Sup_lft" id="Sup_Lft">
            <option>-select Support-</option>
        </select>
        
        
</body>
</html>

**********************  support_get.php  *****************
<?php
  include "support_db.php";
 
 $depth=$_POST["depth"];
  $result=mysql_query("select Display_Name,Key_3 FROM Products where Pri_Group = 'CRY140' AND Sec_Group='Lft' AND Key_2='$depth'");
  while($Sup_lft=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo"<option value=$Sup_lft[Key_3]>$Sup_lft[Display_Name]</option>";

  }
?>

Open in new window

The include "support_db.php" and mysql/php access seems to be working. I have verified that the mysql data is in place. The first select box is functioning. The Ajax fetch doesn't populate the second select box. I hope someone will be able to easily point out what I have wrong.

Thanks

Don't you hate that. I changed the id to Sup_lft and all is good.

Thanks for giving it a quick look.
