my append to the list

hi,

How can I remove "URMBT? ;?Auto" from my select

 $('#DispSelectedGroupBox').append('<option value="' + companyname + '";"' + companytext + '" data-companyname="' + companytext + '">' + companytext + '</option>');

something like this: 

 $('#DispSelectedGroupBox').append('<option value="' + companyname + '";"' + companytext + '" data-companyname="' + companytext  + '">' + '</option>');

leakim971,

the append works but I don't need two companytext at the end
I just need the value and the data-companyname

so,

value = companyname ; companytext
data-companyname= companytext

$('#DispSelectedGroupBox').append('<option value="' + companyname + '";"' + companytext + '" data-companyname="' + companytext + '">' + companytext + '</option>');

I need to take out this extra companytext at the end.

Not sure... Try this :

 $('#DispSelectedGroupBox').append('<option value="' + companyname + '";"' + companytext + '">' + companytext + '</option>');
