This is something I have used, with a little JS to reset the <Select> or
input box
just doing a quick type, so sorry for any typos.
<TR>
<TD><input type="text" name="myfield1" value=""
onChange="myfield2.value= 'none'"></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>
<SELECT NAME="myfield2" onChange="myfield1.value= ''" >
<OPTION value="none" SELECTED">Select
option</OPTION>
<OPTION VALUE="#yourval#">#text#</OPTION>
</SELECT>
</TD>
</TR>
Then on the action page check if myfileld1 EQ "" or not.
or check for the value of the <SELECT> myfield2 EQ "none" or not.
hope this is close to what you are looking for.

Not really something that i would expect to find in the DevX, regardless of
how powerful the search tool is.
Just do a normal <select>, as well as a text input as you described. On the
form's action page, just run a condition to see if the text input is blank.
If it is, use the value from the <select>. If not, use the text input
value.
Some js on the form to prevent both a select value and a text input value
would be nice too. If you need that, lemme know and i'll throw something
together.
