<p dir="ltr">For that I'd use a service with an AJAX select in the form.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Point the ajax select at a MapServer NQUERY call that points to a shp/pg/etc source where you can maintain the list properly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another option, although more work, would be to write an extension that uses dojo selects (or text boxes, I forget) and let it do a auto suggest after the user starts typing.</p>

things, picking a town name. I have over 900 towns/townships that I would need to code in a list that way, so I’m not sure that’s very feasible.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

As Jim points out, you could use a Drawer to execute your code:<br>
<br>
<drawer title="MyList" ...<br>
<tool name="item1" title="item 1" type="javascript" selectable="false"><br>
GeoMOOSE.UX.registered_extensions.my_extension.prototype.my_script('item1');<br>
</tool> <br>
<tool name="item2" title="item 2" type="javascript" selectable="false"><br>
GeoMOOSE.UX.registered_extensions.my_extension.prototype.my_script('item2');<br>
</tool> <br>
<br>
or set the type='service', but I'm not sure how to pass the selected tool id to the service...<br>
<br>
And in either case, I don't think a multi-select would be possible.<u></u><u></u></p>
