What is the preferred way in Javascript to dynamically create DOM option elements? I've found both the Option constructor and the createElement variant used in actual code like this:

var option = new Option(text, value);

and this:

var option = document.createElement('option');

option.text = text;

option.value = value;

Are there any drawbacks/compatibility issues with any of those methods? Also, are there any other methods to create options dynamically that should be preferred to the above for some reasons?
