    Is it possible to edit in a DropDownList?


    Hi,

    Ideally I wish to have a DropDown in which the user can either select from
    the DropDownList values or type in their own values in the DrowDownList.
    In looking at the DrowDownList it appears that this is not possible. Some
    insight would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Terry

    A DropDownList doesn't directly put a drop down on the screen. It
    produces HTML (and CSS and JavaScript), which your browser knows how to
    deal with. But if there's a way to produce a ComboBox behavior in HTML
    short of using CSS positioning to drop controls on top of each other or
    some other trick like that, I don't know of it.
