Understanding UI, missing features?

I'm new to this program, it seems to be missing some user input features. Pulldown menus etc.
See the image of the two traditionally made web pages.

Cal one, the green section has a list and a scroll bar. Calc two has a similar feature as well.
I dont see these with Tiggzi, How do I recreate these features?

We use jQuery Mobile UI components in the builder. You can check all the components they have here: http://jquerymobile.com/

thank you for your reply,
I think you are telling me tiggzi doesnt have a default scroll list or pulldown menu? That you have to use plugins?

I found this one for the scroll list
http://mobiscroll.com/
I think we install this with this tutorial?

For pulldown menu -- Select is the component you want to use. If something is not available in the palette, you can add any 3rd party JavaScript widget library.

Thank you for the info on the select feature.
3rd party javascript widget. How do you add them?
I downloaded the mobiscroll,
adding to a plain html instruction
http://blog.mobiscroll.com/hassle-fre...
but adding this to tiggzi?
it comes with a css and javascript file, we also have to add our own html for it, how do you work this into tiggzi, I see you have an option to add javascript files and css in the create new, so you can upload the files. fine, but what do we do to add this into a tiggzi page? Some documentation or a tutorial would be useful, I'm completely in the dark on how you add something like this into pages made with your program.

Its would be easier to just export the page and code in the mobiscroll myself, using the tutorials would not work, I would have to go on load use this javascript, no idea how it would also use the css, but anyway, tiggzi would have no idea where to actually put the mobiscroll because the events calls actions relative to other things, tiggzi buttons or forms etc. Max is wrong when he said you can add any 3rd party JavaScript widget library. Adding any UI elemnts would not work as you add them by way of the events tab, and you have no way of saying stick this javascript right at this place on the screen.

You also have I think a bug, if you check not to have a header or footer, mobile space is small as it is, so I dont want those cluttering up the screen. If I then add a navbar it will not show. The navbar does not work if footer and header are unchecked/deleted.

Check out the Mobiscroll plug-in, it shows how to add a 3rd party JavaScript library to a page, using Panel component. You don't need to use the Events tab.

But to add a new plug in isnt available. I click create new/from plug in. yes thats right, I can select the mobiscroll 'date time plug' in from 'your' list. But I can only add plug ins from 'your' directory, I cannot add 'new' ones not on your list.

Perhaps Im supossed to look at the mobiscroll date time page example and add those elements and do dads in the events section, no idea, its like shooting in the dark, its easier just to export the page 'out' of tiggzi and add the code in by hand. How you do it in tiggzi I do not know, for a wysiwyg interface that part is harder than just coding it into the web page. Its just not transparent or 'easier /simpler' which is what I see is the premise of using tiggzi.
