[Seaside] Q on "html select" and how to get selected item in an Ajax callback

[Bob Arning]

We had a very similar question on 28-29 Sept (see "Using the select 
tag"). The end result was something like:

(html select)
     list: self genders;
     selected: self contact gender;
     enabled: [:ea | ea notNil];
     labels: [:ea | ea ifNil: ['---'] ifNotNil: [ea printableVersion]];
     callback: [:value | self contact gender: value].

Cheers,
Bob
