  I love the account panel properties, but there doesn't really seem to be a way to make them work well as a dropdown list. For example, I want a dropdown list of US States, with the values being the State abbreviation, and the list showing the full name of the state, as in:
  
  

  Code

  <select>
    <option value="AL">Alabama</option>
    <option value="AK">Alaska</option>
    ...
  </select>

  
  
  I've tried all sorts of things in the list content box, but I can't seem to get anything similar...
  
  "AL,Alabama;AK,Alaska;...", gives me:
  

  Code

  <select id="prop_ustate" name="dynadata[_USTATE]">
         
  </select>

  
  
  "@@AL,Alabama@@AK,Alaska...", gives me:
  

  Code

  <select id="prop_ustate" name="dynadata[_USTATE]">
    <option label="" value="AL,Alabama"></option>
    <option label="" value="AK,Alaska;"></option>
    ...
  </select>

  
  That's the closest I can get...
  
  Any Ideas?

  Same here - can't figure out the syntax.
  
  It says to precede options with @@, but combobox should be , and ;.
  
  Anyone done this and can show what the different syntax should be for:
  
  1. Dropdown list
  2. Combobox
  3. Radio
  
  Thx!

  I created a dropdown list ok. I think you need to precede the first list item with ;@@ This is the start of my list:
  ;@@|| @@GB||United Kingdom @@US||United States @@AF||Afghanistan @@AL||Albania @@DZ||Algeria @@AS||American Samoa @@AD||Andorra

  Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, I've been out of town.
  
  Tried the ";@@||@@AL||Alabama@@AK||Alaska..." method, but I'm still getting a dropdown list "AL||Alabama" and "AK||Alaska" as the choices. I want the user to be see the full name of the state, but it be stored in the database as the abbreviation. Is that possible?
