IE not loading ajax response correctly

[beedie]

I have a page where the form is dynamically created using ajax.
It works fine in firefox but IE won't load some option tags.
I have a select id as the target.
the response text is "

<option value="none">None</option><option value="Silver Shimmer">Silver Shimmer</option><option value
="Foil(Gold)">Foil(Gold)</option><option value="Copper Blue">Copper Blue</option>

as seen through firebug

Hints on this much appreciated.
