[Seaside] Update select display when selection changed

[Avi Shefi]

Bob,
Looks like it's a browser issue, since the actual HTML is updated. This is
sometimes caused by browsers that do not update the display regardless of
the actual markup (they assume it's the same). Internet Explorer may do this
from time to time.

You should create a Javascript code that updates the select element.


Regards,
Avi.
