Is it possible to have an entry field in an drop down menu ?
For example in the code should be:

<SELECT SIZE="1" name="cours">
<OPTION>one</OPTION>
<OPTION>two</OPTION>
<OPTION value =""></OPTION>
</select>

For the attribute value of option, can we entry a value from the html page ?
If isn't possible, what are the others solutions ?
Thank you

I don't think i am reading your question correctly... are you saying you want the user to type a value in somewhere and have it appear on the dropdown?

No Greelmo,
I am saying i want the user to type a value on the dropdown and have it appear on the dropdown?
In fact, the user can choose a value or to type a value on the dropdown.

For example the user can to type a value on a country dropdown because the dropdown doesn't propose the country where he comes from.

Do you see what i mean ?

Thanks a lot.
