You can have a template and use that to re-render your iframe each time? You can do that since you know the parent the iframe resides in, right?

Something like..

var iframeHTMLTemplate = '<iframe ... name="blah" src="@src" />

And while appending to DOM..

$("select").change(function(){ // put a ID to select tag
  var url = "signature.php?sign="+$(this).val();

  var myIframe = $(iframeHTMLTemplate.replace('@src', url));

  container.append(myIframe);

});
