The drop down is created using HTML  not the value prompt ; how do i pass the selected value to report?

Perhaps a parameterized URL is what you need. It sounds like you have a prompt page that is external to Cognos so you would need to launch the desired tool, such as the Cognos Viewer, to call your authored report passing in the externally determined prompt selection.
