title: django - collecting data from a HTML <select>
body: <p>I've seen a couple of documents on how to collect the data from a  HTML statement in Django but none of them were very clear to me. Does anybody have a real working example to share?</p>
  
  <p>In my case I have something like this in my template file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select title="my_options"&gt;
     &lt;option value="1"&gt;Select value 1&lt;/option&gt;
     &lt;option value="2"&gt;Select value 2&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What goes in the views.py in order to collect the selected value? Thank you! </p>
