<script>
// convert all UL in this section to SELECT
$('#list-option-<%inf_pageid%> ul').each(function(){

// convert all LI to OPTION
$(this).find('li a').each(function(){
OptionHTML += '<option value="' + $(this).attr('href') + '">' +
$(this).text() + '</option>';
});
OptionHTML += '</select>';
// insert option html after the UL
$(this).after(OptionHTML);
// hide original UL
$(this).hide();
});
