select Tag

[prasad agarwal]

Hi all,..

Is it possible to make the first element of a Select tag as an Input field so that the user can type anything,.., something that might not be equal to any of the options present below??..
<select>
<option value=""> </option> // here is where a user types say - "test"
<option value="something"> </option>
<option value="something"> </option>
</select>

As far as HTML goes it is not possible, but don't know if there is any work around way

Appreciate your help..
Thanks

There is no way to really do it with HTML. You can use JavaScript to do something like it. Take a look at this: http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=156759
