pl/sql & html select list

Hi. This is probably more of a html question than Oracle, but here it is...

I want to build a select list which displays the description field for records from a table but selects the code field.

Is there an alt option or something like it that says "display the description field but return a different field"? Here's what I have now:

 htp.print ('<SELECT name=newdesc>');
 FOR loop_rec in get_desc_C LOOP

    htp.formSelectOption(cvalue=>loop_rec.stvsbgi_desc);  END LOOP;
 htp.print ('</SELECT>');  

thanks for reading,
