Use checkboxes for multiple select form elements

Better Select worked better for our needs, however:

Fortunately, it has a node form only option. It also has an always save parent also option! All under Administer » Site Configuration » Better Select.

Note that Content Taxonomy would also be an option for this functionality.

If you put a menu in your footer, you're not going to see the code it directly in your page template. Instead, the footer section of your zen subtheme page.tpl.php might look like this:

Add a subsection class to Drupal page body for theming Views and other parts of a site that can be defined by parts of the path

I had wanted to add the name of the view with its display to the body classes (Views apparently provides everything but that combination, and not all browsers we need to support deal with matching on two sibling classes). Looked in Zen for how to do it first though and as a consequence saw a way to add new sub-section body class with the first two parts of each URL.
