Easy way to add drop down menu with 1 - 100 without doing 100 different options?

forms, html

Solution

Not with plain HTML I'm afraid.

You could use some jQuery to do this though:

$(function(){
    var $select = $(".1-100");
    for (i=1;i<=100;i++){
        $select.append($('<option></option>').val(i).html(i))
    }
});​

Problem

I was just wondering if there was a simple shortcut to add options to a dropdown menu for the numbers 1 to 100 instead of having to do the following: ``` <option value="1">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> <option value="4">4</option> <option value="5">5</option> <option value="6">6</option> <option value="7">7</option> ``` etc. all the way to 100? Thanks
