My code is as follows: var $select = $("<select></select>"); $("#menu").append($select); With this done and refresh in browser I dont get that bar as is in the video.Why is that?

Treehouse TeacherMy guess is that you were typing along and thought you'd go back and add the select element later because it is missing from your select variable declaration. You're assigning an empty string to the select variable and then appending it to the document item with the ID of "menu". The end result is that nothing shows. Try this code instead:
var $select = $("<select></select>");
