multiple select, add text to default value (option)

Question

Can somebody help me please add some text before the default "value" of a multiple select option.

The code that responds for this is:

if (!K2HelperPermissions::canAddItem($categories[$i]->value)) {
$categories[$i]->disable = true;
}

$lists['categories'] = JHTML::_('select.genericlist', $categories_options, 'catid[]', 'multiple="multiple" style="height:150px"', 'value', 'text',$catid );

And here is how the "option" looks now <option value="891">Uncategorized</option>

What I want is to add some text before the letters in value="", so for example it looks like:

<option value="sometext_891">Uncategorized</option>

Can somebody Please help me?

Try with:

$lists['categories'] = JHTML::_('select.genericlist', $categories_options, 'catid[]', 'multiple="multiple" style="height:150px"', 'value', 'text','sometext' . $catid );

The thing is that I also need $catid so each option has different values and I can style separately the options that I want with css.. – Vzlotea Jan 17 '13 at 17:12
I'm sorry but I'm lost. Please clarify the question. – Alexander Nenkov Jan 17 '13 at 17:16
As I understand `value="891"` - 891 is $catid, so I need to put before $catid some text like `value="sometext891"`.. – Vzlotea Jan 17 '13 at 17:20
I suggested to replace it with the above but you didn't like it... I'll edit to be clearer – Alexander Nenkov Jan 17 '13 at 18:21

Before this

$lists['categories'] = JHTML::_('select.genericlist', $categories_options, 'catid[]', 'multiple="multiple" style="height:150px"', 'value', 'text',$catid ); must be cycle or some strings with this:

$categories_options[] = JHTML::_('select.option', option-value, option-text);

if you will edit "value" in this, the values in the select will change
