The following works:

scala> (1980 to 2009).toList.map(_.toString).reverse.map( v => "<option value=\""+{v}+"\">"+{v}+"</option>" )

res1: List[java.lang.String] = List(<option value="2009">2009</option>, <option value="2008">2008</option>, <option value="2007">2007</option>, <option value="2006">2006</option>, <option value="2005">2005</option>, <option value="2004">2004</option>, <option value="2003">2003</option>, <option value="2002">2002</option>, <option value="2001">2001</option>, <option value="2000">2000</...

The following doesn't:

scala> (1980 to 2009).toList.map(_.toString).reverse.map( v => <option value=\"{v}\">{v}</option> )
<console>:1: error: in XML literal: ' or " delimited attribute value or '{' scala-expr '}' expected
      (1980 to 2009).toList.map(_.toString).reverse.map( v => <option value=\"{v}\">{v}</option> )
                                                                          ^
<console>:1: error: in XML literal: whitespace expected
      (1980 to 2009).toList.map(_.toString).reverse.map( v => <option value=\"{v}\">{v}</option> )
