select-element was created by ibaifer.gmail

Hello,
I would like to create a select-element in a dropdown like it is shown in the example o the documentation for the "Form" definition. I am not able with this information to create my own form with a select-element. If someone can give my an example how to create it I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advanced.

Please be more precise

Do you mean a groupselect?
{joodb groupselect|FIELDNAME}

It's a pro function!

What I want is to show a dropdown selector in the editor form to allow users to select in one field only between a closed range of options.
As far as I know woth the "Enum" option is possible but i don´t know how to use it.

Take a look at the usefull field of the sample database.

It's a type
enum('Yes', 'No', 'Unknonwn')

While category is
set('Sport', 'Food', 'Tool', 'Creature')

With set you can select multiple values.
As soon you have more then 5 Elements in your set it will be a select-box of type multiple!

I´m sorry
I erased the sample database. Can you only write an example of how and where to define the "set" option.
Sorry and I apologize again.

Sorry but this goes to far.

Take a tool like PHPMYADMIN and add or change the field you want to use as SET-Selection.
In PhpmyAdmin you only need change the type to SET to and add a comma separated list of values.
Like this: 'Sport','Food','Tool','Creature'

dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/set.html

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `joodb_sample`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `joodb_sample` (
  `myid` int(1) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `title` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `value` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL,
  `usefull` enum('Yes','No','Unknonwn') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Yes',
  `picture` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
  `short_description` text,
  `description` text NOT NULL,
  `wikipedia` varchar(254) DEFAULT NULL,
  `category` set('Sport','Food','Tool','Creature') NOT NULL,
  `date` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `state` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`myid`),
  KEY `title` (`title`),
  KEY `state` (`state`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='Table with joodb sample nosense data. Save to remove';
