Select BoX nOT pOPULATED

Hi,

I am using teamsite 6.5.

I have problem with select box population dynamically.

I am checking using ajax whether a file exists or not based on that i am populating the select box with filenames.If i use an alert while population of select box the select box gets populated otherwise it does not, it is empty.

Kindly advise.

Thanks
