I am trying to create a drop down box there an authorized user on an intranet page can add a folder or item to a drop down box similar to how a user on Yahoo Mail can add folders to the "move" drop down box. Can I do this with CSS? Pretty sure I cannot with HTML but not sure. My problem is I have a restriction of not using PHP or JavaScript. Is this possible or do I have to use one of those? Need guidance on where to look. Thanks. meanwhile, still researching.
