Thanks all who suggested that, I will do that. I had not for some
reason thought of that. FWIW my workaround was a try catch :P
try
{
newSelect.add(option)
}
catch(e) { /* do nothing */ }
try
{
newSelect.add(option, null)
}
catch(e) { /* do nothing */ }
While quite ugly, it did work! But NOT the way I want to do things :)
