  Hi

  I want to add a drop down list similar to one you would have in excel to a page.
  The list would be populated by a list of badges my Cub Scouts could earn

  So you would end up with something like this

  First – Last – Air – Camping – Backwoods – Rowing
  Rory – Murphy – Stage 1 – Stage 3 – Stage 1 – Stage 2

  The stages would be in the drop down list

  Hope this makes sense
  Thanks
  Rory

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can create a custom menu and add items including Pages and sub-pages to it to create dropdowns.

  Setting up a menu is easy as pie, provided you know the differences between Posts and Pages, and the differences between static Pages, (which will never automatically update) and dynamic Categories pages which will automatically update when you publish Posts with Categories assigned to them.

  Read this carefully http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/posts-on-pages/

  There are many common errors, misunderstandings and misconceptions when creating custom menus and there are some tweaks you can use to improve your custom menu as well.

  The drop down isn’t for navigation.
  It would be the same as a cell in excel.
  You click on the cell and are given a list of options which you then select.

  So for example our Rowing Skills badge has 9 stages
  I want to create a drop down list that when you click on it gives you
  Stage 1
  Stage 2
  Stage 3
  Stage 4
  Stage 5
  Stage 6
  Stage 7
  Stage 8
  Stage 9

  From there you select one and it appears beside the name

  Thanks
  Rory
