How can I make it shorter? It´s too costly to write it all. And you can choose for example 30th February and that´s impossible.

This will fill the combo box with the given month in a given year, days.

HTML

<HTML>
	<HEAD>
		<SCRIPT language="javascript">
		    function add(dumpMonth, dumpYear) {
		        var combo = document.getElementById("combo");
		        days = 32 - new Date(dumpYear, dumpMonth - 1, 32).getDate();

                for(i=1; i<=days; i++)
		         {
		            option = document.createElement("option");
		            option.text = i;
		            option.value = i;
		            try {
		                combo.add(option, null); 
		            } catch (error) {
		                combo.add(option);
		            }
		        }
		    }
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
    <BODY onload="add(2,2011)">
        Select Day: <select name="combo" id="combo"></select>
    </BODY>
</HTML>

Hope it helps.

I fail to see why it is too costly, the CTRL V button is re-usable.
However, as others have pointed out, the date function is available and should be used.

Or you could load by a looped array.
Just use a case for the months and bobs your uncle.

Try

PHP

$("#amount").keyup(function(){
    var $combo = $('#combo');
    $combo.html('');
    var value = parseInt($('#amount').val(), 10);
    for (i = 1; i <= value; i++) {
        var $option = $('<option>').val(i).html(i);
        $combo.append($option);
    }
})

Use JavaScript to create the select and option elements. Use the Date[^] object and create a loop.
