Sorry again - stupid me!

IE doesn't see a select's options as normal elements - that's the reason 
we use

    new Option(text, value);

instead of

    document.createElement();

and for the very same reason we can't use

    mySelect.appendChild(myOption);

but must add the options to the select's options array

    for (i in myArray) {
       var myOption = new Option(text, value);
       mySelect.options[] = myOption;
    }
