Hi! Is there a way I can create a drop-down for a set of columns? My example is seen in hours of operation. Instead of having them all listed out, a drop-down list would be nice. Thanks! [times1]

It’s entirely within a Rich Text component. Like this. ▶ Summary Goes Here <details> <summary>Summary Goes Here</summary> ...this is hidden, collapsable content... </details> It’s HTML, which is technically not allowed, but I feel it’s pretty safe.

If you still wanted to experiment with your method, I do stuff like that with a self multiple relation and an inline list in the Cards layout. The action on the list item sets a column value that determines visibility in the following list. [image] When I tap on it, the sort order of the followin…

Nice, thanks. I’ll have a play with that.

OHH! How do I pull data into that? The hours are already listed in columns on a sheet.

I think the HTML Gurus of Glide should make a Topic showing some great HTML usage and design. I will be honest, HTML isn’t my strong suit. I would like to be better at it.

You can build the entire thing in a template column and display the template column in a rich text component.

I was just thinking about this as well as having columns predetermind and use if then else to change them accordingly. What are some other html uses you have implemented Jeff?

I was using CSS for floating buttons, but got rid of that now that we have native floating buttons. In the past I have done minor text color changes with CSS and/or Font tags. My biggest use of html is for building dynamic html tables. I just could not get tables to look good using markdown only,…

Same here, I’m trying to convert everything over to Glide, but there are just so many limitiations still.

Oh right right, kind of like when I was adding a BG to an image using the CSS.

It worked perfectly, thank you! Only thing is I would like a space between the Hours of Operation title and Monday’s hours. When I remove that extra < br > it’s right up under it, when I add it back, there is too much space between the drop-down menu and the next component. [times13] [times12]

Here is a similar example that includes a sample of the HTML/CSS, and explains how the table is generated.
