htp.formselectoption single description and multiple values

I need to store valid degree codes, major codes and concentration codes separately, while displaying the descriptions for these in a form list of values all concatenated together.

Is there a way to display a single description (value) , but store in more than one form element (name)?

I can store the degree, major and concentration codes as one value and then parse out the codes from this; however, it seems there should be an easier way. Perhaps there is some way that I can use javascript on the form.selectoption??

Thanks for any tips.
