Rails - Jul 2005 - can't figure out how to add option tags to a select with ajax.

There must be something obvious that I''m missing, but when I try to
add an option tag to a select tag, I end up with this:

  <select id="grant_source_id"
name="grant[source_id]">
newItemThatShouldBeAnOption
<option value="1">First Option</option>
<option value="2">Second Option</option>
</select

The added item appears in the list, but it can''t be selected, since it
is just text.  The new source is added to the database, but the
partial always returns just the source name with no html around it.  I
can''t figure out how this is happening. I have added debug statements
to ensure that the partial is being called, and it is...  Any help is
appreciated.

Here is my controller for the ajax call:

  def create_ajax
    @source = Source.new(@params[:source])
    if @source.save
      render(:partial => "source_option", :object => @source)
    end
  end

And here is my partial, _source_option.rhtml:

  <option value="<%= source_option.id
%>"><%source_option.organization %></option>

And, finally, here is the relevant view code that calls the controller:

  <%= select_tag("grant[source_id]",
      options_from_collection_for_select(@sources, "id",
organization",
      @grant.source_id),
      :id => "grant_source_id")
  %>
  ...
  <%= form_remote_tag :url => {:controller => "source",
:action =>
"create_ajax"},
	:update => "grant_source_id", :position => :top,
	:complete => "new Effect.Fade(''newsource'')"
 %>

Firefox? Doesn''t work -- you have to update the entire select element.

I seem to remember that this has been fixed in an upcoming version, but 
I may well be confusing things here.

Yes, firefox indeed.  I didn''t know about the bug.  Thanks for
stopping my headscratching.
