Populate query result to drop down list with Ajax

Might be a solution: Write full drop down list in searchcontest () function.
Function looks like:

Code:

function searchcontest ($storeid) {
  $query = $this->configmodel->get_contest($storeid);
  $output = Array('contest');
  echo "<select id='contest' name='contest'>";
  foreach ($query->result() as $row){
  $arr = Array('contest' => $row->contest);
  echo '<option value="$row["value"]">$row["label"]</option>'
  }
  echo "</select>";
}

I am confused it might not follow MVC but it shall work.
