dropdown

Hi

i have a simple file upload system coded in php.

As part of increasing the UI simplicity, i want to have a similar gmail "Move To" button where I can check multiple checkboxes and then after clicking one of the many possible entries in the drop down generated by the button, some postback takes place.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Ideally, would be to use jQuery. though i am not an expert, i have some small experience using jQuery.
