<p>As the question says, how do I add a new option to a DropDownList using jQuery?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

With the plugin:
jQuery Selection Box
. You can do this:
```
```
var myOptions = {
        "Value 1" : "Text 1",
        "Value 2" : "Text 2",
        "Value 3" : "Text 3"
    }
    $("#myselect2").addOption(myOptions, false);
```
```
