i am making a select object as well appending the options, everything going well. but the options never appending to select object.. any help?

```
if (el.type === 'select') {
    element = $('<label>' + el.label + '<select></select></label>').attr({
        id: el.id,
        name: el.name
    }) //my select object
    var options = ""
    $.map(el.options, function(option, i) {
        options += '<option' + option.value + '>' + option.text + '</option>';
    })
    $(element).append(options); // never append to select object
    console.log(options); //it prints properly like : <option>Select Country</option><optionin>India</option><optionus>United Stated</option><optionuk>United Kingdom</option><optioncn>Canada</option>
}​

```

what would be the issue then? anything wrong?
