OPTION elements added to a dynamically created SELECT box via DOM are not visible in IE

The code below works great in Mozilla.

In IE the selection box is created, and there is a drop-down box if I click
on the down arrow, but I can't see the OPTION text for each option. The
options are invisible, yet the box seems fully functional. I went into the
debugger and sure enough the selection box has "OPTION" child nodes with the
correct "value" and "text" attributes.

What could be wrong?:

------------------------------

selectBox=docum ent.createEleme nt("SELECT");
selectBox.name= selectBox.id="c hoose1";
selectBox.style .width=100;
selectBox.style .backgroundColo r="#CCCCFF";

var oneOption=docum ent.createEleme nt("OPTION");
oneOption.value =1;
oneOption.text= "one";
selectBox.appen dChild(oneOptio n);

document.body.a ppendChild(sele ctBox);
------------------------------

Also, buttons I create in IE dynamically using DOM and give a known CSS
class name, don't seem to respect the class name (they don't adopt the CSS
style attributes). This works fine in Mozilla.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Can anyone give me a quick code snippet (that is standards-based) for adding OPTION tags to a SELECT dynamically. I have no problem doing it in IE but I am kind of new to the whole standards world and can't figure out how to make it work in, for instance, Firefox. Right now the code I am using is as follows: newOpt=document.createElement('OPTION'); newOpt.id='optKeyword'; newOpt.label='Keyword';...

I have a UI that needs a couple of threads to do some significant processing on a couple of different forms - and while it's at it, update the UI (set textboxes, fill in listviews). I created a base class for the worker class, and made up some functions/delegates to handle the invoke stuff for the UI and that was fine for a prototype. I rewrote this chunk, broke things out into different classes - but the threading is still the same - and...

This is a nasty one and I can't see my way out of it. I have a bunch of select statements in a form, and each select statement has an onchange="do_something(this)" in it, and this works nicely..except when there is only ONE OPTION in a given select. It seems you cannot 'onchange' a single option! Well, that is reasonable. The trouble is I have no way of selecting it since the form itself is a

I am attempting to dynamically add an option to a select box when the box is selected (click or focus). This works fine using Firefox by either creating a new element and appending it to the SELECT's children, or by creating a new Option() and setting it to the select.options array. My problem is in IE whenever it adds the element the select box does not drop down. For instance if I have my code run onFocus when the select box is...

Refactoring my old DualSelectBox , I thought it would be much smarter to get rid of the new Option() stuff, and instead just switch childNodes between the two select elements. Something like that: function shiftSelectedOptions(src, dest) { var i, len, opts = ; for(i = 0, len = src.options.length; i < len; i++) { if (src.options.selected) { opts.push(src.options); }

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
