Dreamweaver enables you to make your selection from the Initially Selected
menu in the Property inspector. The Initially Selected menu is empty until you enter items through the List
Values dialog box. You can preselect only one item for a drop-down menu.
To clear the selection in the Initially Selected list, hold down the Ctrl (Command) key as you
click the highlighted item.
Scrolling lists
A scrolling list differs from a drop-down menu in three respects. First, and most obvious, the scrolling list
field has up and down arrow buttons, rather than an option arrow button; and the user can scroll the list,
showing as little as one item at a time, instead of the entire list. Second, you can control the height of the
scrolling list, enabling it to display more than one item??”or all available items??”simultaneously. Third,
you can enable the user to select more than one item at a time, as with checkboxes.
A scrolling list is inserted in the same manner as a drop-down menu??”through the Insert bar by choosing
Insert ??? Form. After the object is inserted, select the List option in the List/Menu Property inspector.
Enter items for your scrolling list just as you do for a drop-down menu, by starting with the List Values button
in the Property inspector and filling in the List Values dialog box.
