Add an ID:

<a id="link" href="../../availability/default.aspx?propid=">Link</a>

JavaScript:

document.links["link"].href += myvariable;

jQuery:

$('#link').attr('href', $('#link').attr('href') + myvariable);

Something like this will create a closure which will store your original HREF property:

function init() {
    var link = document.getElementById("link");
    var hrefOrig = link.href;
    var dd = document.getElementById("DropDown");
    dd.onchange = function(){ link.href = hrefOrig + dd.value; }
}

window.addEventListener("load", init, false); // for Firefox; for IE, try window.attachEvent

The solution is only to adapt the code that Adam post above so:

HTML

<a id="link" href="">Link</a>

<select onchange="addVariable(this.value)">...

Javascript

function addVariable(myvariable){

document.links["link"].href = "../../availability/default.aspx?propid=" + myvariable;

}
