how to use SELECT control for user input?

[longmatch]

I am going to design a page having SELECT control with several options. For now user can only select options based on the list. They can not input their own items if the item they need to select is not in the selection list. Do we have ways to get around this?

The whole idea of a select menu is to restrict user to a given set of choice. Ranjan

If you want the user to be able to add/modify the list, check these javascripts out:

http://javascript.internet.com/forms/auto-drop-down.html

http://javascript.internet.com/forms/items-popup-list.html

I'm not sure how much freedom you want the user to have but these'll get you started i guess.

Good luck! -gerrygerry
