Populating dropdown menu with JSON Data

Question

I\'m tyring to use AJAX to populate a dropdown box based on the selection of another dropdown. I followed a tutorial using jQuery located here - http://remysharp.com/2007/01

Since JSON can be considered as associative array also, you may do smth like this:

$(function(){
        $("select#ContactCompanyId").change(function(){
          $.getJSON("contactList",{id: $(this).val(), ajax: 'true'}, function(j){
            var options = '';
            for (key in j) {
                options += '' + j[key]+ '';
            }
            $("select#QuoteContactId").html(options);
            })
        })
})
