Answer 1

Option 1-

You can try this-

$('#selectID').append($('',
 {
    value: value_variable,
    text : text_variable
}));

Like this-

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{ 
     $('#mySelect').append($('',
     {
        value: i,
        text : "Option "+i 
    }));
}

Option 2-

Or try this-

$('#selectID').append( ''+text_variable+'' );

Like this-

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{ 
     $('#mySelect').append( ''+'Option '+i+'' );
}
