hi the code works good for me but if i had others select field, for example, check out date, these new fields aren't filled. why?

If you are trying to create multiple "sets" of dropdowns, make sure you give all your selects unique ids and call the function with the corresponding ids -ex:

onload=function(){
	 populatedropdown('d1', 'm1', 'y1')
	 populatedropdown('d2', 'm2', 'y2')
};
</script>
<div>
<select id='m1' name='month'></select>
<select id='d1' name='day'></select>
<select id='y1' name='year'></select>
</div>
<div>
<select id='m2' name='month'></select>
<select id='d2' name='day'></select>
<select id='y2' name='year'></select>
</div>
