Is there a way to create drop-down menus in Google spreadsheets?

I can see the "add form" button, but that doesn't seem to be exactly what I want to do. (Basically I want to create a spreadsheet that will allow my babysitting coop to track points without paying babysitterexchange.com.)

[eta: Actually, it looks like I can do this with forms. I'll just have to build a little website to host it.]

Thank you, sweetie! I'll watch my mail like a Google-Wave-interested hawk!

I will watch my email like another member of the raptor family.

I'm generating a string in PHP on a linux server that will be sent out as the body of an email. For carriage returns within the string, should I use [backslash]n or [backslash]r[backslash]n ?

(edited 'cause backslashes are being stripped out.)

It should be \\r\\n.

Thanks, Tom. Could you explain what the practical difference is?

Most textual Internet protocols (including HTTP, SMTP, FTP, IRC and many others) mandate the use of ASCII CR+LF (0x0D 0x0A) on the protocol level, but recommend that tolerant applications recognize lone LF as well. In practice, there are many applications that erroneously use the C newline character '\\n' instead (see section Newline in programming languages below). This leads to problems when trying to communicate with systems adhering to a stricter interpretation of the standards; one such system is the qmail MTA that actively refuses to accept messages from systems that send bare LF instead of the required CR+LF.[1]

Excellent! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!!

Just because I think many of the tech people here will appreciate this from overheard in the office: [link]

IT guy: Yeah, the UI needs to be top-notch. Like the best thing you've ever done. Uh, don't spend too much time on it.
