I did that, but it did not work. It looks like it is
now looking to get the names to populate the select
list from the method getVname(). Maybe I was not

is populated from a database with and id,descp. Once
the choice is selected I need to collect the id that
was chosen. I need to separate the population of the
select with the choice made.
