Redirecting to css3-box and css3-layout.

It appears I need to propose additional items for the display property:

display:option-drop-down;  
would display the select options as a drop-down menu (single select
only).

display:option-box-list;   
would display the select options in a box in which the end-user clicks
on a item to select it, or, in the case of a multi-select, could
shift-click or control/command-click to select additional items.

display:option-separate;   
would display each select option as a separate radio button item (for
single select) or checkbox (for multi-select).

Hope this helps,
