[Seaside] Using the select tag

Olivier,
Seaside generates unique values for you to be able to look up an actual object and feed it into the callback, what I’m saying is that you don’t need to worry about those at all – you populate the list with objects, possibly using custom label getters and wait until you get an object fed into your callback.

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.

Olivier,
No, you have a way of separately providing display ‘labels’ for your actual objects in the list,
(html select)
list: self countries;
selected: country;
enabled: [:ea | ea notNil];
labels: [:ea | ea ifNil: ['---'] ifNotNil: [ea name]];
callback: [:value | country := value].

Hi Boris,
This means that I must analyze the choice of the user from the text that is displayed on the screen. ok :-(
But how can I must doing if my application supports many languages ?
Olivier ;-)
The framework will pass an actual 'selected' object from your 'list' into the callback, what it puts in the 'value' in the HTML should be completely irrelevant to you.

Hi,
I need to use a drop-down menu in a seaside application. In the
examples that I have found, the displayed values are initialized with #list:
html select
list: #(#Male #Female);
selected: self contact gender;
callback: [ :value |
value = #Male
ifTrue: [ self contact beMale ]
ifFalse: [ self contact beFemale ] ].
In the browser, I get this HTML code :
<select name="3"><option value="1"selected="selected">Male</option><option
value="2">Female</option></select>
My problem is how to set the values for each<option> tag ? I would
get something like :
Why do you want to do this?
Cheers
Philippe
