1) drop down

  <select id="year" name="year" onchange="test2(this.value)">
    <option value="">Choose Year</option>

2) javascript and jquery code

function getVa2()
    {


     var jSelect=$("select[name='year']");
            jSelect.removeAttr('disabled');

    var lnk =new Array();
    var cnt=0;
    var val=new Array

    $("#data1 a").each(function(index){
    if($(this).attr("class")=="subcategory_link")
    {



    lnk[cnt]=$(this).attr("href");


     cnt=cnt+1;

    }
    });
    cnt=0;
    $("#data1 span").each(function(ind){
    if($(this).attr("class")=="subcategory_name")
    {
      val[cnt]=$(this).text();

      cnt=cnt+1;

    }
    });



    var select1 = document.getElementById("year");

    $("#year").empty();

    select1.options[select1.options.length]=new Option("[ Select Your Series ]","");

        for(i=0; i<lnk.length;i++)
        {

        select1.options[select1.options.length] = new Option(val[i], lnk[i]);
        }

              //This displayes values from drop down in alert

    $("#year option").each(function(){
    alert($(this).val()+'-'+$(this).text());
    });


    }

How about using it like this

for(i=0; i<lnk.length;i++)
{
   var my_option = '<option>'+text(lnk[i])+'</option>';
   $('#selection_id').html(my_option);
}
