This is how HTTP/HTML works, not a restriction of Seaside: A
select-list is only a list of strings (and associated names) in the
web browser. Upon form submission the name of the selected item is
submitted to the server, not the items within the list itself.

I suggest that you have a look at Scriptaculous (or any other
Javascript framework). They provide built in functionality to push
values to the server and add them to a list on the server.

Cheers,
Lukas
