I'm trying to use the following code to add an option to a dropdown list in ASP.NET. Any ideas why this doesn't work? I tried Googling but can't figure out why this won't work.
What shoud the code do? I have an ASP.NET dropdown list. I want to access the dropdown list by name and add an item to the list. The item should have descriptive text of "Some Text" and a value of "123".
Thanks!
$("#ddlCategory").append($("<option>Some Text</option>").val(1).html("123"));

Method 1: Append the option tag to the select box The option to be added is created like a normal HTML string. The select box is selected with the jQuery selector and this option is added with the append() method. The append() method inserts the specified content as the last child of the jQuery collection.
Select add() Method The add() method is used to add an option to a drop-down list. Tip: To remove an option from a drop-down list, use the remove() method.
To add a dropdown list dynamically, you would need to create the HTML <select> element, its label and optionally a <br> tag. In pure JavaScript, you can use the document. createElement() method to programmatically create a dropdown list. Then you can call the Node's appendChild() method or jQuery's .
var newOption = "<option value='"+"1"+"'>Some Text</option>";
$("#ddlCategory").append(newOption);
