Question

I am creating a search box form, but I would like to give the user the option of selecting certain categories from a large collection (say 300+). This would not work very well for a drop down menu, in my opinion.

I was wondering if you could create a pop up box with the background greyed out, like you do with images and have all the categories displayed horizontally as radio boxes and then the user could select one or more of the categories and return to the rest of the form.

I suppose I could use a hidden DIV, but the impact of a popup box would be preferable to me.

Anyone any guidance as to whether this is possible.

Thanks
