Is there a way to have an editable text box with the html:select tag?
For example, let's say I have a drop down list and the list contains pre-defined entries that can be put into the database. I was wondering if it's possible to make the text box editable as well so that the user can put in a new value, one that is not predefined.

Thank you for all your help.

I'm sorry. html does not allow this.

Your best option might be to use radios or checkboxes. The last box would have a label of "Other:" (or something similar) and would have a textfield nearby.
