Creating Form Lists and Menus
Another way to offer your user options, in a more compact form than radio buttons and checkboxes, is with
form lists and menus. Both objects can create single-line entries in your form that expand or scroll to reveal
all the available options. You can also determine how deep you want the scrolling list to be??”that is, how
many options you want displayed at one time.
Drop-down menus
A drop-down menu should be familiar to everyday users of computers: The menu is initially displayed as a
single-line text box with an arrow button at the right end; when the button is clicked, the other options are
revealed in a list or menu. (Whether the list pops up or drops down depends on its position on the screen
at the time it is selected. Normally, the list drops down, unless it is close to the bottom of the screen.) After
the user selects one of the listed options and the mouse is released, the list closes, and the selected value
remains displayed in the text box.
Insert a drop-down menu in Dreamweaver as you would any other form object, with one of the following
actions:
n From the Forms category of the Insert bar, select the List/Menu button to place a drop-down
menu at the current cursor position.
