I'm able to pass a value from the select/option to div but I can't seem to 
get a way of sending the same value to controller(then database). I have 
tried different AJAX methods but they seem not to pass the variables to 
controller.
How do I get it to be done?
So far this is my code:

def insert_task():
    """an ajax callback that returns a <ul>"""
    task_name = request.vars.name
    pp = []
    pp.append(task_name)#db.mylist.insert(task=task_name)
    return pp


<div id="target">
<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" class="hidden"> 
   
    <select name="search_category" question="What is your age range?">
        <option value="<39">Below 39 yrs</option>
        <option value="40-54">40 to 64 yrs</option>
        <option value=">65">Above 65 yrs</option>
    </select>
    <select name="search_category" question="What is the choice of your 
books?" >
        <option value="1">Non-Fiction</option> 
        <option value="2">Fiction</option> 
        <option value="3">Childrens</option> 
        <option value="4">Biography</option> 
    </select>
</form>


<script>
    //$('#ddlViewBy option:selected').text()        
    $('#ddlViewBy').change(function(){
        alert($(this).val());            
        $("#target").text($(this).val());//working                   
    });
</script>
