Ajax is the only way (or cookies)
This goes in the view
<script>
$(function(){
$('#mySelect').change(function(){
url = "{{=URL('default', 'add_to_session')}}"
ajax(url, ['myselect'], my_callback);
});
});
function my_callback(data){
alert("Hello " + data);
}
</script>
<select id="mySelect" name="myselect">
<option....>
</select>
This goes in controller
def add_to_session():
value = request.vars.myselect
session.value = value
return "world!"
#note that mySelect is "id" and "myselect" is the name, the DOM uses
#mySelect while the ajax function sends 'myselect' to the server.
