I ~~tested your code~~ tested a simplified version of your code and it works fine. The one thing to note is that you must give it a value that does exist as an option.

Here is the code i used in full:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <select id="designation" name="designation">    
      <option value="some value" selected="selected">some text</option>
      <option value="some value 2" selected="selected">some other text</option>
    </select>
  </body>
</html>

<script type="text/javascript">
  function show(desig){
    document.getElementById("designation").value=desig;
  }

  show('some value 2');
</script>

Note that if I called show('blah') it would not have worked since that isn't a valid option value.

Edit: your php code seems to have a few syntax issues and you also do not specify a value= property other than an empty string - which is probably a big part of why it isn't working. Try

<?php
    while($row_address=mysql_fetch_array($loc)) {
        $location = $row_address['location'];
        echo "<option value='$location'>$location</option>";
    }
?>
