You can get it by writing

function favBrowser(){
 var sel = document.getElementById("myList");
 var value =sel.options[sel.selectedIndex].value;  
 window.alert(value);
   }

You need to supply more information about what it is you really want to do. If what you want is to take the selected value, then take a look at this question

Get selected value in dropdown list using JavaScript?

i think he ment he want to fill the options by Script

this can be done by

<select id="myDropdown">

</select>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function fillDropDown() {
        var ddl = document.getElementById('myDropdown');

        for (var i = 1; i < 50; i++) {
            var myNewOption = new Option();
            myNewOption.value = i;
            myNewOption.text = "my " + i.toString() + " option...";
            ddl.options.add(myNewOption);
        }
    }

    fillDropDown();
</script>

Cheers.
