Swapping option boxes in Internet Explorer?

function load{
        var shippingLocation  = document.getElementById("location");
        var swap = null;

        var initiallyFirstItem = shippingLocation.options[0].cloneNode(true);

        var lastPos = null;

        for(var i = 0; i < shippingLocation.length; i++)
        {
            if(shippingLocation.options[i].value == "XETEX")
            {
                swap = shippingLocation.options[i];
                lastPos = i;
                break;
            }
        }
        console.debug("sl: " + shippingLocation.options[0]);
        console.debug("s: " + swap);
        shippingLocation.options[0] = swap;
        shippingLocation.options[lastPos] = initiallyFirstItem;
        shippingLocation.selectedIndex = 0;
    }

shippingLocation.options[0] = swap;

shippingLocation.options[0] = swap;
