In the Notes client, a developer can use a formula to display a view within a 'picklist'. The formula would be in the format of:

@PickList( [CUSTOM] : [SINGLE] ; server : file ; view ; title ; prompt ; column ; categoryname )

Using the Ext.LayoutDialog class, we can do something similar on the Web. Both buttons below will bring up the same PickList. The first button has its 'click' event set with JavaScript and the second button has the 'onclick' attribute of the input element set inline. You can 'view source' to see what I mean.

Title:

Prompt:

Column:
