Hello, if I'm understanding your question correctly, I don't think it's possible to build a drop down that will allow users to type in a new value. To add a new value to the selection list, one option is to add an additional input field (type="text") and allow users to type in a new value to add to the drop down. You would also include a button that dynamically adds and creates a new drop down when clicked. The new drop down could be created using either javascript or server-side processing with ASP, Java, PHP, etc.I know that my company uses this type of method for adding values to a drop down list. Maybe someone else knows a better way of handling that.lugos
