var myList = new Array();

for (i=0; i<myList.length; i++) {
    master.options[master.options.length]=new Option(myList[i].text, myList[i].value);
}

var myList = new Array();
myList.push({ value: '1', text: 'item 1' });
myList.push({ value: '2', text: 'item 2' });
myList.push({ value: '3', text: 'item 3' });
$('#yourList option').remove();
$.each(myList, function () {
    $('<option/>', {
        value: this.value,
        html: this.text
    }).appendTo('#yourList');
});
