select & input

[@net]

Inside a form I'd like to give my customers both posibility to choose
between data extracted from database (mysql) and to type their own
text. Something like select with one option value typed by them and
anothere we offer from database. Is it possible?

Hi @net,
of course it is possible.
All you have to do is first ask the user, and then with the result, you
can produce the formular like how they want it.

Well, I'd like to do it without asking user anything, because I have
serveral fields i'd like to design in this way, so if I ask the user in
one place to decide what he wants, he can change his mind during
filling the form. (this is possible in access, but i'm quite novice in
web programing).

You could put two radio buttons - one to select the database data, and
one to select the user data.

You could also check the text field for any input, but that's a little
more prone to potential problems.

I've used OnChange events on dropdown selection boxes populated from a
database to populate a textfield that otherwise can be filled in by the
customer with there own text. Means all the fields have to be in pairs
of selection boxes and text fields - may confuse the customers till
they get the hang of it.
