Hi, I didn't look for the problem in your code, but I made an example in my way:

     <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

     <script type='text/javascript' src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4.min.js'></script>

      <style type='text/css'>

      </style>

    <script language="javascript">

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#txtarea').change(function() {

            // Create options for origin
            var optionsOrigin = [
                [0, 'Select'],
                [1, 'NAIA 1'],
                [2, 'NAIA 2'],
                [3, 'NAIA 3']
            ];

            // Create options for destination
            var optionsDestination = [
                [0, 'Select'],
                [15, 'NAIA 1'],
                [16, 'NAIA 2'],
                [18, 'NAIA 3']
            ];

            // Create options for vehicle
            var optionsVehicle = [
                [0, 'Select'],
                [9, 'Toyota VIOS 1.3 MT'],
                [10, 'Toyota VIOS 1300 E AT'],
                [11, 'Toyota VIOS 1500 G AT']
            ];


            /*

            if ($(this).val() == "1") { 
                optionsOrigin = ...
                optionsDestination = ...
            }
            else if ...

            */

            // Set the options to the selects
            $("#txtorigin").setOptions(optionsOrigin);
            $("#txtdestination").setOptions(optionsDestination);
            $("#txtvehicle").setOptions(optionsVehicle);
        });
    });

    // Validate Form

                            var item = options[i];

Actually, the code contains duplicate declaration. JavaScript will stop working if you attempt to declare the same variable in the same scope (line 112, 118, 124, ...).

That's right, but I didn't even try to correct the code because was simpler to just remake it, a little more sophisticated.

I can't stand a lot more of code than it's actually needed.
