Free Text option in Select box

[nsteiner]

Hi all
Is it possible to have the the first option of a select box editable ?
By doing this, I am giving the user a choice between given options and free text.
This is useful if I want to have a 'history' of previous searches for example.

TIA

This is known as a combo box - see http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/combo.html. You may find this article useful to help get you started.
