Default replace a select box with a textbox
Hi,

Was just wondering if it was possible to write a function that would replace an existing selectbox with a text box? I know you could use hide.

You could use replaceChild on the parent element/node to completely replace it. Would you want to swap it back again later? If so, then you'd be better off hiding the select element and showing the text box.
