select option to return primary key?

Hi,

I'm building a page where a person has to choose who is to
perform an
action.   The 'who' comes from the 'auth_user' table.

<select name="id_tecnico"
size="1">
    {% for i in inst %}
    <option>
 {{ i.first_name|lower|capfirst }} {{
i.last_name|lower|capfirst }}
{{ i.id }}
    {% endfor %}
</select>

I would like first_name and last_name to appear on the
select box, but
not the id field.

But I would like to have the id returned to the view, as it
is the
primary key of users.   Is there a way to do this (in
django/html)?

Otherwise, the only solution I can see is to return
first_name and
last_name only to the view, and try to find the id of that
user from
the table.   Is this the way to go?

How about
<option value="{{i.id}}">

Now the id_tecnico should have the value of your persons id
in your
view.
