                    str = str + '<option value=' + rows[i].id + '>' + rows[i].category + '</option>';
                }
                var ddlcategory = document.getElementById("drpCategory");

                ddlcategory.innerHTML = str;
                db.close();

What kind of component do you use to access SQLite?
So for I haven’t come across any way to declaratively bind options of a select tag.
You could either use a ListView and its itemDataSource (as provided by our SQLite component) or programmatically fill the options like described in this thread.
