I am trying to get a dropdown list inside a table cell. i somehow managed to get it with example in the forum,
however, i am unable to get the data out of the template node.
i searched but could not get exactly what i need to do to get the data that i input in the table out side of the template node.

You can use ng-model and ng-submit.

<h1>Heading</h1>
<form ng-submit="send({payload: mymodel})">
<TABLE BORDER="1">
    <TR>
        <TD>Name</TD>
        <TD ALIGN="left"><INPUT TYPE="text" SIZE="25" NAME="fname">
        </TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
        <TD>Phone Number</TD>
        <TD ALIGN="left"><INPUT ng-model="mymodel.number" TYPE="text" SIZE="25" NAME="phnnum">
        </TD>
    </TR>
         <TR>
    <TD class = "select">Chose Vehicle         
    </TD>   
    <TD ALIGN="center">
       <select ng-model="mymodel.select" >        
            <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
            <option value="saab">Saab</option>
            <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
            <option value="audi">Audi</option>
       </select>
    </TD>        
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Submit"></TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="reset" VALUE="Clear"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</form>

*note not all directives are implemented.

[edit] Removed html and body tags as the dashboard would have already added them

Thanks a ton. I would need a few more tips and will return to this topic (or create a new thread) once I convert my flow to actual requirement based on this example.

Can I say, if you are just starting this project, you might want to consider moving to Dashboard 2.0

See this thread for why: Node-RED-Dashboard (v1) - Deprecation Notice

I would love to, however.

  1. this is not a new project, i am extending the old project with more functionalities
  2. one of my important requirement is based on @hotNipi 's UI-State trail, and without that or any equivalent of that, i cannot shift my project yet.

So i am bound to db-1 till then.

Fair enough.

Once we get the chart component moved over to echarts in dashboard-2, the state trail (state timeline) can be done as a chart.

Here is an example I just knocked up:
