So I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why the following wasn’t working in AngularJS:

<select ng-options="item.name for item in items">
</select>

I spent ages checking my syntax and that the data was correct. Finally I discovered the reason – <select REQUIRES ng-model.

<select ng-model="dummy" ng-options="item.name for item in items">
</select>

works just fine…
