## popup_menu

     print $query->popup_menu('name', \@array [,'selected', \%labelhash])

Generates a popup menu.

name

  The name to assign the input to (required).

\@array

  An array reference listing the menu items. You can also use an anonymous array reference (see example below).

selected

  The menu item to be initially selected (default is first menu item or the item selected in previous queries).

\%labelhash

  A hash reference listing labels for each menu item. Default is menu item text. For example:

  >     %labels = ('UPS'=>'United Parcel Service (UPS)',
  >              'FedExO'=>'Federal Express Overnight - 10AM delivery',
  >              'FedExS'=>'Federal Express Standard - 2PM delivery',
  >              'FedEx2'=>'Federal Express 2nd Day Delivery');

  >     print $query->popup_menu('delivery_method',
  >                            ['UPS', 'FedExO', 'FedExS', 'FedEx2'],
  >                            'FedExO',
  >                            \%labels);

  Using named parameters, the syntax is:

  >     print $query->popup_menu(-name=>'name',
  >                              -values=>\@array,
  >                              -default=>'selected',
  >                              -labels=>\%labelhash,
  >                              -onChange=>function,
  >                              -onFocus=>function,
  >                              -onBlur=>function);

  `-onChange=>``function`

    Browser should execute `function` when the user changes the text field.

  `-onFocus=>``function`

    Browser should execute `function` when the focus is on on the text field.

  `-onBlur=>``function`

    Browser should execute `function` when the focus leaves the text field.
