Re: combo, pulldown, select, option?

My girlfriend tends to confuse lots of computer terms anyway.

For instance she referred to a link as a bookmark (go figure!?).

I propose we name our widgets after characters from Winnie the Pooh.  Or
something equally universal.

<import name="xwt.widget" />

<winniethepooh>
    <tigger />
    <tigger />
</winniethepooh>
<donkey />

Excellent...

That's not fair; I would not be speaking English to my mom, so I
wouldn't use the word 'pulldown' in this context either ;) She seems to
prefer 'roltapijtje' (rolling carpet). Go figure.

When using it, you aren't really pulling it down, either. You click a
button, a list drops down. I propose <rollingcarpet/>. Should be obvious
to anyone.

Emile, who doesn't really mind pulldown.
