[mod_python] SELECT element values

Within a <SELECT> element, you will get the value attribute of the 
selected <OPTION> element. So if your HTML reads:

<select name="s">
<option value="1">One</option>
<option value="2">Two</option>
</select>

you will get either "1" or "2" as value for field "s", you will not get 
the "One" or "Two" strings because they're just eye-candy for the user.

Check the query string (part after "?" in the URL) to see how this works 
(change the form's method attribute from POST to GET if you don't see a 
query string in the URL).
