True, but the client-side reading is needed only for validation prior to submission.  
When the form submits, the name attribute of any select tag will be paired with the 
value attribute of the currenly selected option tag, and added to the query string, 
this will be parsed along with other form input in any standard CGI input-parsing 
routine.  The information is deifnitely available on the server side.
