Alternate way to create drop down

Alternate way to create drop down

I am making a we page in which I have to dynamically add text fields and drop downs using html5 and jQuery.
In the drop down i need two options i.e text and again drop down which will be later shown as preview . I got the code for that but I am stuck with drop down because i need alternate keyword for drop down. Please help me if u can

  var fType = $("<select class=\"fieldtype\"><option value=\"checkbox\">Checked</option><option value=\"textbox\">Text</option><option value=\"textarea\">Paragraph</option><option value=\"select.linkselect([options])\">List of attributes</option></select>");

Here what to use instead of select.linkselect([options]) for drop down.
