type in a select box

[dfred]

is there any way to let the user type in a select box if the value they are searching for does not appear in the select box?

i am pulling out of the database info related to variables the user selects. if by chance the db does not have all the related info, the user needs a way to type in the info into the select list.

thanks for any help.

You are talking about a combo box. There is no built in control for this. I think ActiveX lets you stick in a windows combo box control, otherwise, you need to look at something like this (http://www.webfx.eae.net/dhtml/combobox/combobox.htm)
