jquery or JS create child element and assign an ID

Question

I've been working through this and I'm a little stuck. I can't seem to find a direct answer so I'm gonna ask. I'm creating an options list from a JSON call. I've created the child elements but I can't seem to add the unique ID's (stored in the JSON) to each element. When I create the ID inside the $.each of the JSON I get the last ID from the call assigned to all the options. Thanks ``` $("#fDistList").append(''); $("option").attr('id', item.ID); ```

Accepted Answer

Try this ``` $("#fDistList").append(''); ``` When you do ``` $("option").attr('id', item.ID); ``` you are reselecting all `option` elements and setting their ID attribute.
