envirospatial asked on
I have a javascript routine that creates a Select element adding several Options. i use for the option element I use element.setAttribute(text,
On the html page all I see is the outline of the select box. No option values, but I can see that the select element shows the space for the three options that were added via code. . Also when I inspect the select element it shows the three options with correct value, and text .
Not sure what is the problem. I have tried to append the select element to the parent before the options are added and also after they are added. Does not make a difference.
Is there a "refresh " for the select element of something similar?
Any ideas welcome.
