$("#menu").append($select) doesn't work... $("#menu").after($select) works!

for some reason the append($select) doesn't work... but when i changed to after($select) .. it shows up... somehow the code <select> ... </select> inside the div doesn't show up... i even tried hiding the ul's , still doesn't show up.. but when i place AFTER the div menu, it does show up.

// create a select inside menu
var $select = $("<select></select>");
// $("#menu").after($select);
$("#menu").append($select); // SOMEHOW APPEND DOESN'T WORK
// cycle to menu links
$("#menu a").each(function(){
    var $anchor = $(this);
    // add options
    var $option = $("<option></option>");
    // options value to href 
    $option.val($anchor.attr("href"));
    // options text to text link
    $option.text($anchor.text());
    //append
    $select.append($option);
});
// create button 
    // find click to select location
// modify css to hidde links, show button on small width
// hide select and button for higher resolution
// append selected to options according to page

Thanks for the alternative. Ran into the same issue while using my text editor.
