dropdown list of numbers

[RICK]

I am trying to create a drop down list of number from 1 -2000.

Is there a better way to do this other than:

<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
.
.
.
.
<option value="2000">2000</option>

yes using JScript !

var select = document.getElementById(selectTag);
for (var i = 1; i <= 2000; ++i){
var option = document.createElement("OPTION");
option.text = "" + i;
option.value = i;
select.add(option, null);
}

but do you really think that such select item will be usable ??
do your users will actually accept to scroll thru such list ?
