if (brandObj != "") {
    brandObj = eval("(" + brandObj + ")"); 
    $.each(brandObj, function(i, item) {
        $("#<%=listBrand.ClientID%>").append(  "<option value="+ item.Brand + ">" + item.Brand + "</option>");
    });

}

The data which I get from server

But after it render as HTML select , it omit the word after space.whole value is there but once I get the value , it have only half(the value which in double quote). I tried to add   but it is showing as it is. it is not rendering as space. please give your suggession.

Answer 1

You should wrap value of attribute value in quote(Quote It). If you do not wrap them in quote then value after space will be considered as attribute itself:

$("#<%=listBrand.ClientID%>").append("<option value='"+ item.Brand + "'>" + item.Brand + "</option>");
