Q.  What's the best way to append an <option> to a <select> with jQuery?

A.  I use this function:

	function selectAppend(jquerySearch, myvalue, pretty) {
		$(jquerySearch).append($('<option>', { value : myvalue }).text(pretty)); 
	}

	example use:

	selectAppend('#myselect', '1.00', 'One Dollar');
