How can i get the results of a JHTML select.genericlist in a Joomla Module
Need to develop a simple Joomla 2.5 Modul with the following JHTML and Text Input:
1. two JHTML::'select.genericlist
2. two normal input boxes (one->number other=text)
3. a SubmitButton if pressed prints the Result of the above entered values
5. with the above values i must assemble a call to an external server
4. print the answer of the external server
The conventional form with <form method="post" and $_POST['submit'] does not work in a Joomla module. Can any body help?

Thanks a lot for your post. Yet the whole project - a few php programs with embedded html-code and JavaScripts - is called via wrapper. Because of the weak connection to the Joomla Session and User-DB i decided to put the whole bunch of code into an own module. But i don't know how to use the JHTML::selectionlist..... Need a simple example, like below but with the necessary HTML Part:
--------------------------
## A default value -- this will be the selected item in the dropdown ##
$default = 2;
## An array of $key=>$value pairs ##
$months = array(1 => 'Jan', 2 => 'Feb', 3 => 'Mar', 4 => 'Apr');
## Initialize array to store dropdown options ##
$options = array();
foreach($months as $key=>$value) :
## Create $value ##
$options[] = JHTML::_('select.option', $key, $value);
endforeach;
## Create <select name="month" class="inputbox"></select>
$dropdown = JHTML::_('select.genericli
## Output created <select> list ##
echo '</br>'.$dropdown;
--------------------------
How can i get the result of the selected value - (similar to the $_GET and $_POST?

According to the joomla documentation something like that in Joomla 2.5 will do:
Initialize jinput:
Get value of your select box:
Jommla Docs for Jinput
Initialize jinput:
$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
Get value of your select box:
$foo = $jinput->get('month');
