InnerHTML drops leading tag in SELECT

I am relatively new to XMLRequest, DOM and Ajax but I really like the
functionality. I have the DIV and SPAN changes working well but I
thought that I would experiment with changing the actual innerHTML of
each control rather than changing the whole control inside of a DIV.
What I tried was this:
Create a <SELECT> so...
<SELECT id=MyComboBox>
<OPTION>opt1</OPTION>
<OPTION>opt2</OPTION>
<OPTION>opt3</OPTION>
</SELECT>
I then tried to change the innerHTML of just "MyComboBox" but when I
view the resulting string that is supposed to populate the SELECT it
is always missing the first <OPTION> tag. In other words, the string
is supposed to look like this:
strFill = "<OPTION>new1</OPTION><OPTION>new2</OPTION><OPTION>new3</
OPTION>"
....but, instead, it looks like this:
strFill = "new1</OPTION><OPTION>new2</OPTION><OPTION>new3</OPTION>"
I even tried forcing a leading string on the beginning like this...
strResult = "<OPTION>" + strFill;
but it still strips off the leading OPTION tag when I pop the SELECT
(ie. MyComboBox.innerHTML = strResult;)
I checked the innerText property of the result and it looks fine.
Is there something that I am missing or is there an easier way to do
this?
Anyway, until I hear from someone, I guess that it is back to the DIV/
SPAN thing.
Thanks for the help.
