Yes.

Aha, probably I would need to learn a little more.

I have done it this way:

1. I created the AJAX request
2. I received the AJAX response in JSON format, and the content of the
response contains the full HTML code for creating the select element
starting with <select...> and ending with </select>.
3. I have set this response as the content of an empty div.

That select element appears well, but maybe it doesn't appear as a DOM
member, so that's why I can't attach an event handler to it.
