[jQuery] Problems loading select options in IE

[jQuery] Problems loading select options in IE

Hi
I am generating some <option> tags with php and then loading them into a select box with jQuery's load method as follows:
The Select Box:
<select id="selectbox"></select>
The Javascript:
$("#selectbox").load("phpfile.php", {action: "getoptions", alpha: "A"});
This works well with Firefox but IE simply displays an empty select box.
Loading some html into a div, with the same method and the same php file, works perfectly in IE.
What
could I be missing? I have to demo this application for a client in
less than 20 hours, and they only use IE! Have spent the last hour
trying to figure this one out.
Any help, or nudge in the right direction would be much apreciated.
Kind Regards
Mike
