JQuery Vehicle Selector

Hey All,

Chasing a bit of help with a vehicle selector I am building, unfortunately I don’t have the greatest grasp of JQuery so not too sure how to pull off the next steps. At the moment it is functional and is able to select vehicles and produces a link however the link is reliant on the data that makes up the string i.e. “http://www.web.com.au/store/vehicle-search/BMW-318i-2005

I ultimately need a way to assign each vehicle option with an ID number so that the link looks more like “http://www.web.com.au/store/vehicle-search/BMW/[UNIQUEID#]” where unique ID is the number assigned to each vehicle selection. Is this possible?

HTML:

<style>
ul {
	list-style: none;
}
</style>
<div class="dynamic-dropdown">
<form name="myform" id="myForm">
<h3 id="dropdown-h3">Quick Search</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<select name="optone" id="makeSel" size="1">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select make</option>
</select>
</li>
<li>
<select name="opttwo" id="modelSel" size="1">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select model</option>
</select>
</li>
<li>
<select name="optthree" id="yearSel" size="1">
<option value="" selected="selected">Select year</option>
</select>
</li>
<a href="javascript:window.location.assign(buildUrl());"><img src="http://media.supercheapauto.com.au/sca/images/user/media/sca/garage/Parts-2.png"/></a>
</ul>
</form>
