This is what is displayed:

<option>[B]MCA[/B]</option>

This is what it is sent with the request:

<option value="[B]MCA[/B]">MCA</option>

Meaning that there will be cases that what you display is different from what you want to sent:
Example:

<select [B]name[/B]="product">
<option [B]value[/B]="000-001">Product Name 1</option>
<option [B]value[/B]="000-002">Product Name 2</option>
</select>

Remember that you send the value attribute at the request and you get it using the name. Like you did: request.getParameter("product") will return one of those: 000-001, 000-002. Not what is displayed between the "option" tags
