The finest example using HTML, and jQuery is what I’ve presented. Therefore, you can learn how to add new select options using jQuery. Simple explanations are provided for each stage.
- Create a HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.min.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>
Select one of the proposed options:
<select id="mySelect">
<option value="option1">Option 1</option>
<option value="option2">Option 2</option>
</select>
</p>
</body>
</html>
2. Create JavaScript Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
var optionText = 'Option 3';
var optionValue = 'option3';
jQuery('#mySelect').append(jQuery('<option>').val(optionValue).text(optionText));
});
</script>
This code creates a new option element with a value of “option3” and text of “Option 3”, and then appends it to the select element with the ID of “mySelect”. You can add more options in a similar way by calling the append() method again with a new option element.
Output:
