-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have seen people use the approach of layering a drop-down and a text box on top of each other. You look at where the user clicks, and bring one or the other to the front. I don't have any examples for you, but I have seen it done. Should have bookmarked the site...

Hi, I got stuck on a similar thing, I got around the problem with having a text box at the next to the drop down, and used that for new entries. <select name='Items'> <option value='0'>New Item, Enter --></option> <option value='1'>Item 1</option> <option value='2'>Item 2</option> </select> <input type='text' name='NewItem' value=''> So the user would select "New Item Enter -->" from the drop down and then they enter the new item in the text box. Then your processing page will figure out that the drop down has passed the value for a new item and add it to your DB, then pull the @@IDENTITY from your item table and use that ID. Hope that makes sense Ta ta Paul Paul Broomfield NEOCOM CRM Building 50 Dalton Street Napier Tel: 64 (06) 83 555 34 - -----Original Message----- From: Jesse Quijano [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 2 August 2002 10:42 a.m. To: ActiveServerPages Subject: OT: <select> + manual entry? I've seen this done, but can't figure it out. I'm hoping some of you veterans can help: I would like to provide a drop down list of options (via a <select>?) but allow the user to enter their own value if they would like. I've tried various Google searches, but haven't found the magical combination of keywords as of yet. Your thoughts are appreciated.
