I think you are going to need to use the  "describe" functionality of Apex to generate the a list of picklist values for a specific field. Then pass that list to the VF page as a property and have your javascript iterate across the entire list of values.

 

Here is a 2 line example of getting a list of picklist values for the standard Account object, Rating picklistfield:

 

Schema.DescribeFieldResult F = Account.Rating.getDescribe();
List<Schema.PicklistEntry> ratingPicklistValues= F.getPicklistValues();

 
More information here on dynamic apex. 
 
 
Unless you just want the value a user selects from the <apex:inputField>, then you can use the actionFunction or actionSupport components of VF to pass that value.
