In short, the INPUT(...) is, with no doubt, rendered as a text input field. You need a SELECT(...) to show up as a drop-down list. That is how HTML works, isn't it?
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to build forms manually. Define your db table and use SQLFORM instead. PS: Once upon a time, I did not know how to customize forms so I build my own forms manually. Before long I realized the code becomes unmaintainable quickly. So, come back before it is too late, let's do things in a web2pythonic way, pal.
