sorry, I didn't explained why:
We are not sure, whether the drop down list can be implemented into the

jdd already mentioned it - there are two proposals: one with a three

Almost everybody complained about this so far, so this definitely needs

Currently there is no HTML version available, and creating a png with
bigger fonts will prove nothing ;-)). But, yes, Robert is aware of the
fact that the design has to be scalable.
