Instead of drop down list, can I create a drop down table?

[Rychertate]

I'd like the user to be able to scroll through a drop down list with multiple fields in a table. Is that even possible?
I have not found an example of that yet.

You can always concatenate your display values.

<select>
<option>Value 1 - Desc 2</option>
<option>Value 1 - Desc 2</option>
</select>

You can open up in a pop-up window a tiny HTML table, by simply making a barebones HTML page of that table.

If you want it to look like a drop-down menu, with the arrow and such, well, you can either make a little graphic (many people take this route) or you can just use an actual drop-down widgit, but deactivate it while using the onClick method to pop your preferred table. I'd suggest option "A", just because "B" breaks the perceived functionality and "A" is what people usually expect (think of calendar-picking widgets).

Hope that was helpful!

Cheers,

Edward

Or you can use a "floating" div that you hide and show when needed.

If you want to do what I think you want to do (have columns in your drop-downs), check out this thread from March:
