Sometimes I have a need to display several fields from each record in a selection interface but I don't want to use the screen space that a table would take.
The normal solution for a single-line input choice is a <select> element, but these aren't too good at displaying large text fields such as the description and don't allow nice formatting to separate fields. So I was using a <table> with an <input type="radio"> column but that takes up too much screen real estate. So I've written some Javascript that just displays one row of the table at a time. It replaces the radio buttons with a <select> element and displays the appropriate row as the user browses through the options. It isn't Maypole-dependent, or even TT dependent, but it does work nicely with it. It does use the DOM and I've only tested with one browser - Firefox 1.0.6.
