question on forms

[msa969]

I am programming in JSP.
I want to know if there is a form element in tags
that is similar to drop-down (option) list but allows the user to type an alternative if the choices is not in the list.

I know there is such a thing in java, which I think is called a combo-box but is there one in form elements?

No such thing I'm afraid. This is why you often see a drop-down with 'Other'
as one of the options. Choosing 'Other' enables a text box next to the drop-down
so you can enter the data.
