Editable Combo box?

[Broccoli2]

In an HTML <FORM> I'm using a <SELECT></SELECT> to display a combo box. However, I'd like to be able to let the user input a value that's not in the list (much like a Microsoft editable combo box). I've had limited success with two overlapping layers (one with the select, the other with a standard <INPUT TYPE=&quot;text&quot;>) and a toggle button, but not only does this look a mess, but has opened a can of worms regarding cross-browser compatability. Please please please does anyone have a simpler solution?

its really simple, actually:

var newOption=new Option;
newOption.value='6';
newOption.text='Six';
//then add it to the select box
document.formOne.selectBox.options[document.formOne.selectBox.options.length]=newOption;

now, with a quick look I'd say thats what js-examples.com does, but here is the code for you right there theEclipse
