In the view with javascript you can do that :
To set content of session.var you will need a python function for that,
something like that :
def __create_update_session_var():
id = request.vars.id
value = request.vars.value
session.var = id
#or
#session.var = value
#or
#session.var = db.table(id).value
$(function() {
var id = $('#myselect option:selected').val();
// or
//var value = $('#myselect option:selected').text(); // But you don't
really need to you can get the value from the id
$.ajax({
url: {{=URL('controller', 'create_update_session_var', vars=dict(id=id,
value=value))}}
});
});
Not tested, but you can work around this example the basic idea is there.
Note that javascript is asynchrone and for that reason the session.var may
not be there when you need it. But if you just need to put something in
session for the next page to load there should be no problem.
If you disclose more detail about what you really want to do, we can
propose other/better design...
