Your're adding the *same* object to the HTMLSelectElement twice.  What's
happening is explained in the specs
(<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/html.html#ID-94282980>).  If you
want to add two "options", you have to create two distinct
HTMLOptionElement objects:

 	function dSelect() {
 		var sel = document.getElementById('mySel');
 		var o = document.createElement('option');
 		o.value="a";
 		o.text="apple";
 		sel.options.add(o);
 		alert(sel.length);

 		o = document.createElement('option');
 		o.value="ora";
 		o.text="orange";
 		sel.options.add(o);
 		alert(sel.length);
 	}
