[Cuis-dev] Modal morph

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Hilaire,

I can not give a quick and easy solution. This is complex stuff!

What I need is detailed instructions to build your exact setup. I guess 
it involves updated Cuis, and DrGeo. If those instructions are in the 
readme of DrGeo repo, that's even better.

Then, I'll need to play a bit with this and review the code. My gut 
feeling is that DropDownListMorph should not have any modal-specific 
code. That should be in the base framework. Having a concrete example to 
experiment with will help me find out the best way to do it.

Thanks!
