<select>

<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>

<option value="saab">Saab</option>

<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>

<option value="audi">Audi</option>

</select>

Thanks for the information and help,

I have above code and have this select control on the form.

It only allows user to enter option value in the list, I would like user to enter a new list like 'BMW', 'Toyota' if it is missing from the list.

Thanks again for helping,

Regards,

You won't be able to do this with just HTML. If you want people to add to the list on the fly, you will need Javascript. If you need them to be able to save and persist this data after a user has made one, you will need Javascript, PHP, and some sort of storage method, like a file or database. I would recommend you start reviewing the PHP and PHP forms chapters of the w3schools tutorials.

Maybe you could tolerate something like this...

<select>  <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>  <option value="saab">Saab</option>  <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>  <option value="audi">Audi</option>  <option value="other">Other</option></select><br/><label>Other:<input type="text" name="other"/></label>
