Option Select + input field in one

[do.uris]

Hi List,

I wonder if it's possible to have a "input text form field" behaving
like a value list, "select option". I don't want two fields, I want to
have a "select option" with a input field so the user can select a
value or enter one in the same place...

CSS?

TIA,

Dominique

It just doesn't exist in HTML.

CSS?

CSS doesn't allow you to create new controls.

Also known as a combobox, and non-existant in normal HTML.

There have been several attempts using some javascript and CSS tricks to
mimique the functionality, with various success. Google for 'HTML
combobox', and be very aware your page should continue to work with
javascript disabled, unless it's an intranet page with known UA
configurations.

Hi Guys, thanks for the quick response. I have check the "HTML combo
script", it is exactly what I want but it's to much code and it did
not work in IE 6 but in Firefox it was perfect.

I know that CSS don't add new control, it just that sometime your able
to fake it...

Thanks Guy!!!
