I want to split a string and want to put in the dropdown list

Question

strPropertyEvents=20 Aug 2014-New Activity 1, 21 Aug 2014-gfdbfjdb ,21 Aug 2014-anubhav, 24 ug 2014-hjdf

Basically In strPropertyEvents it is stored in the form of string but I want to split this string in such a manner that where there is a comma , it splits down there and the output is in a dropdown list as

<script type="text/javascript">
$('#hiddenActivityDate').val('@strPropertyEvents');
alert($('#hiddenActivityDate').val());
var strList = hiddenActivityDate.split(',');
console.log(strList);
$.each(strList,function(index,val){
$("#ProgramList").append('<option>'+val+'</option>');
});
</script>

But the code is not working. Could you please help me out what is the mistake either in fiddle or anywhere.

i want that it get corrrect either in fiddle or anywhere. Please help me out — user3756425, Aug 22 '14 at 08:38
yeah, post a link to jsfiddle which demonstrates the problem — Sergio Tulentsev, Aug 22 '14 at 08:40
You're not assigning any value to your `hiddenActivityDate` variable. — Robby Cornelissen, Aug 22 '14 at 08:40
@RobbyCornelissen: I'm not sure but that might be resolved to a dom element `#hiddenActivityDate`. MSIE used to do that. — Sergio Tulentsev, Aug 22 '14 at 08:41
@SergioTulentsev No it didn't. It did allow `document.hiddenActivityDate` at some point, if memory serves. — Robby Cornelissen, Aug 22 '14 at 08:42

@SergioTulentsev Obviously my memory didn't serve me very well :-) Apologies, should've done my homework. — Robby Cornelissen, Aug 22 '14 at 08:46

I don't find the definition of hiddenActivityDate

<script type="text/javascript">
$('#hiddenActivityDate').val('@strPropertyEvents');
var hiddenActivityDate = $('#hiddenActivityDate').val();
var strList = hiddenActivityDate.split(',');
console.log(strList);
$.each(strList,function(index,val){
  $("#ProgramList").append('<option>'+val+'</option>');
});
</script>

I'm not quite sure where you get the string from, but I've added a working example where the string is declared at the top, as well as in a hidden input field.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

    var strPropertyEvents="20 Aug 2014-New Activity 1, 21 Aug 2014-gfdbfjdb ,21 Aug 2014-anubhav, 24 ug 2014-hjdf";
    $('#hiddenActivityDate').val(strPropertyEvents);
    var strList = strPropertyEvents.split(',');
    console.log(strList);
    $.each(strList,function(index,val){
        $("#ProgramList").append('<option>'+val+'</option>');
    });
});
</script>


<input id="hiddenActivityDate" type="hidden" />

<select id="ProgramList"></select>
