Undefined options for dropdown
<p>I am getting an error that options is undefined.  The dropdown shows up but for some reason options is not accessible</p>

<p>dropdown.options is undefined
[Break On This Error] dropdown.options.length = ObjectCount(equtypeList); </p>

<pre><code>$(dropdown).show(); // this works

if (ObjectCount(equipmentTypeList) &gt; 1) 
{
    $(dropdown).attr("disabled", false); //this works
    dropdown.options.length = ObjectCount(equipmentTypeList);  //bombs out here saying options is null...wtf??
    AddDropdownOption("-- Select Equipment Type--", "-1", dropdown.id);
}
</code></pre>

<p>So I don't get it.  If I reshow a dropdow, then why is the option attribute not accessible (not usable cause it's null).  Clearly it's there as I can see the dropdown reappear on the page...but has no option attribute?  That just doesn't seem right that I would get null for the options attribute.  If it's enabled and reappears, then it's a valid dropdown and I should be able to add stuff to it agani.</p>
