One way is to use DynamicHTML. Let the html page have a place holder for the options of select tag.

In a js file

var options = ["one","two","three"], selectHtml = "";

for(var optionIndex = 0; optionIndex < options.length; optionIndex++) {

    selectHtml += ("" + options[optionIndex] + "");

}

document.getElementById("selectBox").innerHTML = selectHtml;

Put the above code in a function and call that function onload.
