No search engine can index javascript, because Javascript is mostly for 
interactive elements, and the search robots don't trigger these elements. 
The best solution in this case is to use a common list instead of the drop 
down menu: a list has better usability (you see everything at once without 
clicking in the list) and it works for people who have javascript disabled 
(who currently cannot access these pages either).

If you absolutely want to stick with the menu: add a hidden section with 
links like this: <div style="visibility:hidden"><a 
href="link.html">1</a></div>
