The solution would be to assign the value of the select menu's selected value to a session variable via post (a jQuery ajax post may be less obtrusive).

Somewhere in your view:

if request.POST:
    request.SESSION['select_menu_value'] = request.POST.get('select_menu_value')

Well, presumably you are dealing with form posts whenever you want to access the option you refer to.

You could either have your whole page be contained by a form, or use javascript to set a hidden field within your main form which is submitted.

You can then access it as a raw property of the POST object, or bind a Form object to handle it.
