[Seaside] select tag population / callback..

[Boris Popov, DeepCove Labs]

(html select)
    list: self countries;
    selected: country;
    labels: [:ea | ea label];
    callback: [:obj | country := obj].

where #country is an ivar and #countries is a selector returning a collection of your country objects each of which responds to a #label for its textual representation, for example.

when i do this, i end up setting the value to the value of the option tag..  what i need to do is point it to the actual object.. i have a feeling i am not wording this correctly..

what i'd like to do is populate the select tag options with some text generated by my objects.

when the form is processed, the value in my component would be set to the object that the select points to..

i hope i am making sense..
