I am using the below ajax code to populate a select tag. The code works fine for multiple values but fails for single value.

I am not using Json its a java call.

HTML code: <select name="xx" id="xxSelect" size="5"></select> <img alt="Search" class="searchXX" src="xx" id="searchXX" />

jquery code:

$('.searchXX').click(function(e)

{

$.ajax({

type: "GET",

url: "/x/x/xx/getxx.xml?xxName="+xxName ,

dataType: "xml",

success: function(xml) {

// Create Options from Response

var options = "";

$('#xxSelect').html(options);

$(xml, "root>xxxx").find("xxx").each(function()

{

options+= '<option>'+$(this).find("xxName").text()+'</option>';

})

$('#xxSelect').html(options);

}

})

});

The above code works fine if i have a list of size more than 1 but fails if the 1st list was of size 1 and the second list was of size 1. ex: 1012 and 1013 fails as two different output values.
