It seems like you're working against the standard here. Normally, the value
is what's important upon submission.
But what you want can be done. There are two approaches to this:
1. When rendering the page, make the value and description the same. You'll
need to escape the value attribute with html entities to ensure it's read
properly. You'll end up with HTML that looks like this:
<select id="tdocu" name="tdocu">
<option value="Me & Friends">Me & Friends</option>
</select>
This approach is nice because it helps ensure that your page works when
Javascript is disabled or unavailable.
2. Alter the value with javascript before posting. That would look something
like this (untested):
$('myform').observe('submit', function(event)
{
var selectInput = $('tdocu');
var value = selectInput.value;
selectInput.value = selectInput.select('option[value="' + value +
"']')[0].innerHTML;
});
