Dropdownmenu list widget?

Hi there,

I need to output a TV as a dropdownmenu list.
I can set it up fine to allow my client to input value==text combos, but is there an easy way to output this TV as a dropdown list?

Cheers,

J

I was kind of hoping I would not have to write my own snippet (because i’m lazy).

A dropdown Widget would we nice tho? Goes a long way towards making forms etc configurable by the client (Providing they don’t enter rubbish in the TV input and wreck the whole thing)

Thanks for the help Susan.

Ran into problems with that approach, let me explain...
I have a chunk called x that is called from a snippet y. I use parseChunk and then output it from said snippet.

Within x is the snippet call to handle my dropdowns:
[[drawdropdown? &selectid=`custom_fontselect_[+form_index+]` &selectname=`custom_fontselect_[+form_index+]`]]

The placeholder [+form_index+] is generated in snippet y, and replaced.

Problem: When snippet y runs, it takes the first chunk and process my new snippet call within, but thats it...it just outputs the result and does not loop?

figured it out...I had pasted over my original snippet...not the first time I have done this mind u!
