Is it possible to do this with Mustache.js? 

var data = {"val":"3"},
    template = '<select>' +
                    '<option value="1">1</option>' +
                    '<option value="2">2</option>' +
                    '<option value="3">3</option>' +
                '</select>';

var html = Mustache.to_html(template, data);

$(html).appendTo('body');
javascript jquery templates mustache

I little bit late, I know, just for future reference:

<script>

var templates = {
    'dropbox': '{{#options}}{{>option}}{{/options}}',
    'option': '<option value="{{value}}"{{#selected}} selected="selected"{{/selected}}>{{text}}</option>'
};

var data = {
    'options': [
        { 'value': '1', 'text': 'One' },
        { 'value': '2', 'text': 'Two', 'selected': true },
        { 'value': '3', 'text': 'Three' }
    ]
};

$('#number').append(Mustache.render(templates.dropbox, data, templates));

</script>

<select id='number' name='number'>
    <option value="0">Choose a number</option>
</select>
