Hello!
I want to populate a dropdown object throughout JavaScript as follows:

switch( ctrlDepartamento.getValue() )

{

case "Cundinamarca":
alert( ctrlDepartamento.getValue() )



ctrlCiudad.options[0] = new Option("Bogotá","Bogotá" )

ctrlCiudad.options[1] = new Option("Chía","Chía" )

ctrlCiudad.options[2] = new Option("Alban","Alban" )
// etc

break;
// etc
};
ctrlDepartamento.on('change', okeh);


ctrlDepartamento and ctrlCiudad (synonymous of ctrlState and ctrlCity in English, respectively) are dropdown objects.
But it does not work. What is happening? What is wrong?
Thanks in advance for your appreciated help.
So long!

You won't be able to do so using Javascript API - its designed for different purpose.
In this situation you can use jQuery. Here are a few examples that can help:

How do I can accomplish this task? Where I include the jQuery.js file? Thanks in advance!

jQuery is included already. You just need to change your code that adds new options to dropdown box.
