Answer 1

You need do something like the below:

...
<select name="customer" id="customer">
    <option value="{{ customer.name|escape }}">{{ customer.name }}</option>
</select>
...

Answer 2

Seriously, you really need to read some documentation.

Firstly, read the documentation about HTML form tags. There's no for attribute on a select, and you need to supply a value between the open/close option tags.

Secondly, read the Django documentation. If you're doing a form, you should use the forms framework, which takes care of generating form elements for you.

Finally, if you want help with something like the above, you should post all relevant information. For instance, how is the customer attribute getting to your template in the first place?
