Looks like I didn't explain well enough what I meant. What I had in mind was a pull-down menu just as you did, but which reflects the current state in its text. The word "View" would just show up in fixed text field left of it. I. e.: +--------------------+ View: | Category | v | +--------------------+ After the user chooses "Pending": +--------------------+ View: | Pending | v | +--------------------+ I think this is what most users expect from this pull-down menu style, isn't it?
