Replace_html on a select fails on IE and Opera

I am using an rjs file to do a page.replace_html on a select field as
follows:

@inrhtml = options_from_collection_for_select( @widgets, “id”, “name”)
page.replace_html “type_select”, @inrhtml

I have it working on firefox and safari but it doesn’t work on IE and
opera?
My javascript defaults are up-to-date.

I would appreciate any help.
thx,

You cannot use this in IE. Don’t know about Opera.

IE doese not support the innerHTML js function on select boxes amongst
other things.

Ezra gave a solution to this problem a while back. Sorri but I don’t
have it in front of me. If you search in RForum for a post with
Dynamic in the title and a reply by Ezra you will find it.
