In fact after some thinks , i could : render XML or JSON from my controller, in order to send back user_ids and names to populate the drop down list. Modify the function callback , which receives the response as XML/JSON for parsing and repainting the drop down list. Each row in the dropdown list s enclosed by a a href with onclick event, calling a function(with current user_id as argument) setting the value in the Hidden field
