originally I wanted to created a picklist

Thanks Simon, well I've been trying to get into xpages for quite a while. A lack of time hasn't really helped at that. But neither the lousy implementation of the ide, correct me if I'm wrong. Buttons vanish when trying to edit properties and "features" like the one that made me struggle above don't really help much.

Anyways, the original intention before I got lost in the xpage editor (aka notepad) was to create a picklist. I thought xpages were easy, and then Mark Hughes had to fiddle around 8 hours to get a working solution (see comment section here: http://www.codestore.net/store.nsf/unid/BLOG-20090521). That's not what I call easy, and I'm glad that I'm not the only one.

I'm already considering skipping xpages for now and look for something else.

Is there a way of a not so cart before the horse way of implementing a picklist? Or is it just me ranting?
