I am working on a script for a jukebox. I would like to have a user be able to click the jukebox and select a song to add to a que. I was thinking llDialog might fit the bill but the character limitations per button are causing problems.
I have seen HUDS but I don't want someone to need to where a HUD for this. Is there a menu alternative to llDialog?
Also where would I find a working HUD example.
I hope I am not wearing out my welcome with all of the noob questions. Thanks to all of you for the help.

You could create a HUD like prim set, and camera offset combination...
Imagine this... Individual right clicks the device and selects "Sit" (or whatever replacement text you set). The camera offsets to the display, which would appear as a HUD in the view of the offset camera, allowing the user to utilize the functionality of a HUD without having to attach anything. When the user is done, they simply "stand up" to back away from the display. A variety of gambling games use this technique. If you don't want the psuedo-HUD sitting out in view, you can use a llRezObject command to pop the psudeo-HUD into view when the user "sits".

Great idea man. thank you. I had not thought of displaying the data on a prim. That will work.
