Create a list (or array) of select options (which is probably what you're
doing now).
Instead of the primary key, use the index into the list (or array). In the
sample code you posted, this would be "i"
In your processing code, just make sure that "i" is a valid index into the
collection, and then retrieve the object from the list/array.
