Thanks a lot Eric! It's a good replacement for my combination of <<tag username>> <<option txtUserName>> in my contactsheetgenerator. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1064531/ESL/mama.html#HoldListeBilleder Now I use <<tiddler ChooseUserName>><<option txtUserName>> instead, This is more intuitive. You can write what ever username you want - or choose it from a list.
The dropdownlist is to wide though - I'm only using initials as usernames - How do I narrow it to fit it's content?
