Hi,

In my form, i have two elements: a textbox and an select box



In the current implementation, the user can only type a value in the textbox or select a value from the dropdown.

Now i want to modify this implementation in such a way that instead of having a textbox and a select box, i want to have a single editable dropdown with the values aa,bb and cc and the user can enter some value in the dropdown itself?? How can this be done??

Thanks in advance.

Easy solution: other option, show hidden textbox beside element.

Another solution is an auto complete textbox.

Hard solution is a lot of JavaScript code.
