IE/jquery compatibility, dynamically populating a select field

Hi,

 

Not sure where to even start on this one...

 

I have a function that takes a select input field ID and populates it with an array of options.

 

   

function populateSelect(selectId, options){
    	
    	options = options.split(';');
    	selectId.find('option').remove().end();
    	
    	$.each(options, function(i, option){
    	  option = option.split(':');
    	  selectId.append($('<option />').val(String(option[0].trim())).text(String(option[1].trim())));
    	});
    }

 

An example call would be...

 

 

 selectId = $("#dateBar_graphSelect");
    var options = 'Pie:Pie;Column:Column';
    populateSelect(selectId, options);

 

The error I'm getting in IE 8 is...

 

Object doesn't support this property or method (selectId.append line)

 

Considering that line has several methods being called I have NO IDEA what could be going on here.

 

Even a tip on debugging situations like this would do a world of good for me!!

 

-thanks in advance for the help
