Change this:

<option value="div_no">#div_no# - #div_desc#</option>      

to something like this:

<option value="#div_no#|#div_desc#">#div_no# - #div_desc#</option>      

Then write an onchange event handler for the select control that parses the selected values and displays the descriptions somewhere.

This approach is also handy after the form is submitted.  You can show the user what he selected without having to go back to the db.
