I mean a drop down list of items like picking what state you live from a list 
of states
and the control screen for browser going blank not allowing do anything and you 
have
to turn the nook off to get nookbrowser to work again.

good catch. This problem is in the nook framework class where they have 
modified 
Alert dialogs to display buttons in the touchcreen. This works if the dialog 
has any 
ok/cancel buttons. In this case, there are no buttons and it blocks the whole 
screen. 

Right now, the only way to use the dropdown is to select the keyboard and press 
the 
first letter of the option you want to pick. ( So, you have to know the options 
before looking at it :)).

I'll try to figure out a workaround. In the worstcase, I think we can add logic 
to 
close this window by pressing pageup/pagedown key when it's launched 
accidentally. 

So, in effect, you can click on the list, see the values, close it  & then use 
the 
keyboard to select it. 

If someone has a better suggestion/fix, please let me know.

Since this is a javascript window displayed by the webview, I don't have 
control 
over it and don't have a handle to close it. I have added a message on top of 
it 
with a Ok button to let the user close the app instead. This will help prevent 
having to restart the device. 

This issue is due to nook custom framework behavior - can't fix without 
changing the 
framework classes
