No you can't use a for loop in HTML. HTML is a markup language, you cannot use logical code. However you could use javascript to do your logic depending on what your objective is.

Here is an example using jQuery, a popular javascript library:

for(i=0; i<5; i++){
    $("select").append("" + i + "");
}
