[Seaside] Using the select tag

[Olivier Auverlot]

Thank Boris but I don't know if your example can resolve my question. 
The problem is not to produce labels but setting a unique value for each 
line of the select tag and read this value in my seaside application.

It's possible that we have the same problem with the radio and checkbox tags

In web application, it's a very common practice to dissociate the 
information displayed for the user and the data exchanged between the 
client and the server.

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_option_value.asp

I used this approach in all my previous web applications with many 
programming languages (C, Rebol, Perl, PHP, ...). Why not with Pharo and 
Seaside ? .

In fact in the callback, I think that the server code must not work with 
the label value but with the value of the tag. It's not the same thing.
