Binding a dropdown using Backbone.js -

i have started poc on backbone.js , facing basic problem.i populating dropdown list using collection. dropdwon not getting populated static values defined in collection.

can please me out on this.

      $(function () {       var country = backbone.model.extend();       var countries = backbone.collection.extend({           model: country        });        var countryview = backbone.view.extend({           tagname: "option",            initialize: function () {               _.bindall(this, 'render');           },           render: function () {               $(this.el).attr('value',     this.model.get('id')).html(this.model.get('name'));               return this;           }       });        var countriesview = backbone.view.extend({           initialize: function () {               _.bindall(this, 'addone', 'addall');               this.collection.bind('reset', this.addall);           },           addone: function (country) {               $(this.el).append(     new countryview({ model: country }).render().el);           },           addall: function () {               this.collection.each(this.addone);           }       });        var countries = new countries([{           id: 'us',           name: 'us'       },           {               id: 'india',               name: 'india'           },           {               id: 'uk',               name: 'uk'           }]);       var countriesview = new countriesview({ el: $("#country"), collection: countries });       //countries.fetch();   }); 

it looks render method never getting called because collection's reset wasn't being fired. here's fiddle in i'm calling collection.reset model data after countriesview created. there console.log statement in render, , should see fires.

  countriesview.collection.reset([{       id: 'us',       name: 'us'   },   {       id: 'india',       name: 'india'   },   {       id: 'uk',       name: 'uk'   }]); 

i think there event fires when view first created, , need render view in response that.

edit: actually, no, why there be? backbone's view that: view. logic encapsulates showing itself. doesn't know collection view, doesn't respond being instantiated collection. want add logic in constructor collection view started (or i've done here , call reset populate collection). i'm used using marionette in addition backbone. marionette gives enough specialization around views don't need worry creating custom backbone views handle collections, etc.
