Hello Henry, Adding functionality to dropdowns is something we explored quite a bit on a project I worked on for E*Trade.
One function we developed was the ability to add new items to the drop down list. We placed the function for adding a new item at the bottom of the list in parentheses. Choosing %u201C(add new choice)%u201D causes a small modal dialog box to appear, where the user can create the new choice. Another function that is accessible from a dropdown is to create custom subsets of tables, or what we referred to as "column views." If the user selects %u201CManage Column Views%u201D from the column view dropdown, the first screen in a Guided Workflow appears in a floating window. The user chooses an existing column view as the basis for creating the new view. The user can also delete a column view from the list on this screen. The user can also delete a column view from the list on this screen. I'd be happy to send you some screen shots if that would be helpful. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
