Menu inherits from List. The struggle will be about eliminating the click-and-dismiss and roll over behaviors of Menu. If you look into "states", you can probably get what you want by having Lists and Forms appear as needed.

My thinking was along the lines : If a menu allows a checkbox, it allows a flag to be set, so entering data for a form would not be inconsistent. This just allows user to look at the contents of the form and glide over to other menu items without actually entering the form... (The form should seamlessly disappear as user gets back to parent menu...) I wanted a list to be part of a menu so that it can offer multiple selections. (Again one could just navigate to the list while the rest of the menu is open and glide over without actually selecting the list elements...).. I needed Menu-->list/form as i also had the need for submenus.. Can i not capture Menu's event listener for Hide event and unhide it? (could anyone tell me how to unhide a menu this way...) -jaihari --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It is probably possible, but is likely to be quite difficult.
