Answer 1

you could also just use $().load() and have your PHP code generate the tags

  $return = "";
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
    $value = $row['value'];
    $text = $row{'text'];
    $return .= "$text\n";
  }
print $return;
}

...

$('#select').load("index.php/rubro/list_ajax/");
