QuickLinks Dropdown Menu

From PikaDocs

Early on we did a bit of a redesign of the main Pika template to better fit they way we work. One early request was to move the search to the top of the page, while we were at it we added a feature that many in Iowa would be loathe to do without, implementing all of the original "Quick Links" plus many other major features in one space saving dropdown menu in the top bar, while moving the original text links to the bottom. Here's a screen grab of our top and bottom bars (from the home page).

The QuickLinks Menu is some fairly simple HTML and JavaScript added to the default.html template: 

<form name='quicklinks'>
    <td class="nav" colspan="2"> 
        <span style="float: left; text-align: left; margin-top: 3px; margin-right: 5px;">
	<select name="page" onChange="window.location=document.quicklinks.page.options[document.quicklinks.page.selectedIndex].value;" value="GO">
            <option>[Quick Links]</option>
	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%index.php">Home</option>
    	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%case_list.php">Case List</option>
	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%addressbook.php">Address Book</option>
            <option value="%%[base_url]%%cal_day.php">Calendar</option>
    	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%prefs.php">Preferences</option>
            <option value="%%[base_url]%%report.php">Reports</option>
	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%intake.php">New Intake</option>
	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%in-out.php">In-Out</option>
	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%poms.php">POMS</option>
    	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%office.php">Offices</option>
	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%expense.php">Expenses</option>
	    <option value="%%[base_url]%%menus-display.php">Menu Docs</option>
	    <option value="/wiki/">ILA Wiki</option> 
	    <option value="irc://irc.iowalaw.org/intake">IRC - Intake</option>
	    <option value="irc://irc.iowalaw.org/intake-spanish">IRC - Spanish</option>
	    <option value="irc://irc.iowalaw.org/ILA">IRC - ILA</option>
	</select>
	</span>
     </td>
</form>

Note that the last several entries are not even Pika pages, in fact some are even IRC urls, which allows our staff to use Pika to launch IRC sessions with our internal IRC server.
