By jump menu I mean a select box that automatically submits and takes you
to a new page. It's some javascript that I don't want contributers to mess
with.

Option 1) Get them to include a <ul> of links, set to a certain class, and then change this into your jumpmenu at runtime using javascript.
Option 2) Write a custom PLP step that allows users to create a list of links. A bit of javascript would help here to add more fields to the list. You can then WDDX this data into a column in your custom type, and then un-wddx it in your displayTemplate to generate your jump menu.


Put my vote down for option 1 -- simple and accessible.

You could even provide a 'preview' in your PLP step below the wysiwyg that uses the same javascript as the display template, to allow contributors to instantly check that things look how they should. I would though disable the actual 'jumping' functionality inside the PLP though -- just make it so they can preview the <select>.
