Originally it is MS proprietary but other browsers (Netscape 6, Konqueror)
also support it because it's so very, very useful.

As to writing options to a select, the DOM way (createElement('option') and
so on) does not work in Explorer 5 on Mac. It would be best to follow the
traditional approach, see
