.html() in Ajax Works in Firefox, not in IE

I thought all was good until I tested my page in IE. I am using ajax to build a set of dynamic dependent select boxes. I have built up a test case to study the problem. The ajax is returning the correct data both in Firefox and in IE. It seems the

$("#Suplft").html(data);

Open in new window

statement does not work in IE. It clears the options, but doesn't load in the new values. I have searched the web, but I haven't found the solution. Here is a link to my test case. Run it in Firefox and then run it in IE.

Thanks in advance

Open in new window

That works just fine in IE for me if I use <option>Hello</option> as the contents of support_get.php, so it's likely some malformed HTML content (maybe some PHP errors or warnings) coming back from the page that IE isn't understanding.

Here is support_get.php

<?php
include "support_db.php";
$depth=$_POST["depth"];
$group=$_POST["group"];
$result=mysql_query("select Display_Name,Key_3 FROM Products where Pri_Group = '$group' AND Sec_Group='Lft' AND Key_1='$depth' ORDER BY Sort_Index ASC");
while($Sup_lft=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo"<option value='$Sup_lft[Key_3]'>$Sup_lft[Display_Name]</option>";

}
?>

I left up the alert to show what was being returned. I don't know how the data is supposed to look like. I can just see something is coming back.
