Setting option value (containing space) using append

[madhurs99]

Appending new option using below code

var OptionDesc = "United Kingdom";
var OptionValue = "United Kingdom"
$('select').append("<Option value="+OptionValue+" >"+OptionDesc+"</Option>");

generates wrong HTML

<select>
<option value="United" kingdom="">United Kingdom</option>
</select>

The value attribute needs to be quoted if it contains spaces.
