So it seems that you need to retrieve a select element with options
via ajax somewhere in the page's javascript, instead of a json data
payload, and place it in the document dinamically. I think that you
could modify the controller to return a select object with a .load
view and then append it to the document using the web2py.js javascript
function web2py_ajax_page('get',action,null,target)
action is the .load url that returns the raw html string
target is the id reference of the container tag.
the .load view should create the needed tags with helpers and the
database data with something like:
{{ =SELECT(*[OPTION(...) for option in options]) }}
