Populating dropdown box on pageload

I have attached the javascript code,I am calling reqLocInit() method in an xsl file on body load as
<body onload="profile_init();reqLocInit()" onkeydown="profile_keydown(event)" onunload="profile_unload()" style="visibility:hidden">
The thing is i need to insert html code <form action="" method="post">
<b>Requesting Locations:</b>
<select name="reqLoc" disabled="true">
</select>
<br />
</form>
</p>
<!--
<iframe id="hiddenFrame" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0;height:100%;width:100%;visibility:hidden;border:0px;" src="../blank.htm"></iframe>
-->
<iframe id="hiddenFrame" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:450;height:100%;width:100%;border:0px;" src="../blank.htm"></iframe>
 
in to this xsl,I checked on internet that this code should be included with in body but i have to insert somewhere after this
<tr>
                  <td class="fieldlabel" elementType="field">
                        <label for="RQH_REQ_LOCATION">
                        <xsl:call-template name="doThatLangThing">
                              <xsl:with-param name="langVar">RQH-REQ-LOCATION</xsl:with-param>
                        </xsl:call-template>
                        </label>
                  </td>
which is AFTER the body tag completes
the body tags starts and ends as
<body onload="profile_init();reqLocInit()" onkeydown="profile_keydown(event)" onunload="profile_unload()" style="visibility:hidden">
                        <div id="profileTabGroup" class="hiddenTabGroup">
                              <ul>
                                    <li id="profileTab">
                                          <button onclick="mainWnd.sipObj.showTabGroup('profile', workWnd)"
                                                      onmouseover="changeObjClass(this,'over');"
                                                      onmouseout="restoreObjClass(this);">
                                                <xsl:call-template name="doThatLangThing">
                                                      <xsl:with-param name="langVar">profile</xsl:with-param>
                                                </xsl:call-template>
                                          </button>
                                    </li>
<div class="contentArea">
                        <!-- Profile ***************************************************************************************** -->
                              <div id="profile" style="display:none">
                                                                        <form name="profiler" id="profiler" onsubmit="return false;">
                                          <table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">
                                                <xsl:call-template name="profileFields"/>
                                                
                                                                 </table>
                                                                        <input name="_itemGroup" type="hidden">
                                                <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="DefaultsScreen/ItemGroup/ID"/></xsl:attribute>
                                          </input>
                                          <input name="_vendorGroup" type="hidden">
                                                <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="DefaultsScreen/VendorGroup/ID"/></xsl:attribute>
                                          </input>
                                          <input name="_procureGroup" type="hidden">
                                                <xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of select="DefaultsScreen/ProcureGroup/ID"/></xsl:attribute>
                                          </input>
                                    </form>
                              </div>
</tr>
                                          </table>
                                    </form>
                              </div>
                        </div>
                  </body>
            </html>
      </xsl:template>
How do i do this?
r.js file 
 
var reqLocProdLine = "LOGAN";
var reqLocFile = "WFUSERCAT";
 
var workCat = "Req Loc";
 
 
 
function reqLocInit() {
 
	
 
	alert(mainWnd.user.requester);
		
		//Now get the WF USER CATEGORY Table for processing
		REQLOC = new Array();
		var dmeObject = new DMEObject(reqLocProdLine, reqLocFile);
		//Need to change the name of the servlet to include the .exe as otherwise apache misses the reference
		dmeObject.progName="/cgi-lawson/dme.exe";
		dmeObject.field="Id;Task;Work-category;Work-cat-value";
		dmeObject.out="JAVASCRIPT";
		dmeObject.max="1000";
		dmeObject.select="Id=" + mainWnd.user.requester + "&Work-category=Req Loc";
 
		dmeObject.func="setReqLocList()";
		DME(dmeObject,"REQLOCHID");
		
	}
function setReqLocList() {
		
		REQLOC = window.REQLOCHID.record
 
		for (var i=0; i<REQLOC.length; i++) {
			var newOption=document.createElement('option');
			newOption.text=REQLOC[i].Work_cat_value
			var reqLocSelect=document.getElementById("RQH_REQ_LOCATION");
			try
			{
				reqLocSelect.add(newOption,null); // standards compliant
			}
			catch(ex)
			{
				reqLocSelect.add(newOption); // IE only
			}
		}
		document.getElementById("RQH_REQ_LOCATION").disabled = false;
}
