Strut2 Jquery plugin Autocompleter and Select tag not working........

Question

I actually tried this example:

$(document).ready( function() { $.subscribe('handleJsonResult', function(event,data) { $('#result100').html(""); var list = $('#countryList'); $.each(event.originalEvent.data, function(index, value) { list.append('

'+value.name+'

\n'); }); });

    <s:url id="jsonurl" action="CountriesList"/> 
    <sj:a id="ajaxjsonlink" 
            href="%{jsonurl}" 
            dataType="json" 
            onSuccessTopics="handleJsonResult" 
            button="true" 
            buttonIcon="ui-icon-gear"/> 

and am able to see the JSON result successfully, but the same JSON data cannot be seen in the select tag...

The versions used are: struts2-jquery-plugin-2.2.2 struts2-spring-plugin-2.1.6 struts2-core-2.1.6 jsonplugin-0.34

Here are the tags in the jsp:

                              <sj:select 
                                    href="%{countryurl}" 
                                    id="selectedCountry" 
                                    name="selectedCountry" 
                                    dataType="json" 
                                    list="country"
                                    listKey="id"
                                    listValue="name"
                                    emptyOption="true" 
                                    headerKey="-1" 
                                    headerValue="Please Select a Country" 
                            /> 

I can see the json values in Firebug when the action gets invoked, but nothing inside the select component! What is wrong with the above? syntax, version? thanks V
