I believe Erin's wireframes were just using a quick-n-dirty way to

a dropdown, and as stylized as it appears it really wasn't.
The only reason I was concerned about the checkmark was the comments
at the bottom of the wireframe page. Here's the link again:
http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/collectionspace/Wireframes+-+Dropdown
In the comments, it says:
MF + ATS 3/9/09: Looks good, unsure about the check mark. Is it
necessary/useful?
EY: It is a common convention in many desktop applications. It shows
which option is selected even when the highlight is moved away from
the selected option.
From this, I assumed that the designer felt the check mark was
necessary, or at least very desirable. But I'd be perfectly happy to
find out that a plain <select> is more than adequate!! It would make
my job much easier :-)
At least on the Mac, the checkmark is present out of the box when
using the default controls. On other platforms, we're probably best to
stick with their own native conventions, which will, again, come out
of the box.
Easy!
