In addition to Wizzud's solution:
Since it seems that you want to be able to access each select with the
name "foo" individually and change their values individually you could
try something like this:
$('select[name=foo]').each(function(i){
$(this).addClass('foo'+i);
});
This would dynamically add classes foo0, foo1, foo2, etc. to your
selects named foo, meaning you could access each by class name if you
know what order they appear in. Also, make sure to run that script
whenever the contents of your table change so you always have an up to
date list. I assume it would be 'better' to give id's to each one
since they are unique, but unique class names work just as well and
there is no addId method in jQuery.
