I am using the following code to convert unoredered html list into a select drop down list:
jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
//build dropdown - main navigation
$("<select />").appendTo(".region-menu-inner nav");
// Create default option "Go to..."
$("<option />", {
"selected": "selected",
"value" : "",
"text" : "Navigate..."
}).appendTo("nav select");
// Populate dropdowns with the first menu items
$(".region-menu-inner li a").each(function() {
var el = $(this);
$("<option />", {
"value" : el.attr("href"),
"text" : el.text()
}).appendTo(".region-menu-inner select");
});
//make responsive dropdown menu actually work
$(".region-menu-inner select").change(function() {
window.location = $(this).find("option:selected").val();
});
});
At the same time, I am using Simple dialog module for Drupal7 to create modular window for several links on the page. This module comes with only one js file. The code this module is using is below:
/*
@file
Defines the simple modal behavior
*/
(function ($) {
/*
Add the class 'simple-dialog' to open links in a dialog
You also need to specify 'rev="<selector>"' where the <selector>
is the unique id of the container to load from the linked page.
Any additional jquery ui dialog options can be passed through
the rel tag using the format:
rel="<option_name1>:<value1>;<option_name2>:<value2>;"
e.g. <a href="financing/purchasing-options" class="simple-dialog"
rel="width:900;resizable:false;position:[60,center]"
rev="content-area" title="Purchasing Options">Link</a>
NOTE: This method doesn't not bring javascript files over from
the target page. You will need to make sure your javascript is
either inline in the html that's being loaded, or in the head tag
of the page you are on.
ALSO: Make sure the jquery ui.dialog library has been added to the page

Link that is using this module, in the source looks like this:
<a href='/user' name='user-login' id='user-login' class='simple-dialog' title='Login ' rel='width:400;resizable:false;position:[center,60]'>Log in</a>
The problem is that when you click on the login link (or any link that is meant to have a popup window), it takes a second or two to load the popup and when it actually loads, second set of select dropdown list is being generated. If you click login link one more time, it generates third select list. Basically it duplicates whatever is converted from ul li into select list. If you click on the link 5 times, it generates 5 select drop downs, one at a time, but adds them in addition to existing dropdowns.
Thanks for help in advance.
