yeah, I have seen that as well...basically, an onMouseClick, or onDblClick event to show/not show the text box/combo box. the functionality that I think you are looking for is really only available in windows apps, maybe available in some sort of active X control, but not sure.

One of our developers worked on something like this (a combo box), and he got it to work in IE 5.5 (our intranet standard). Of course, then he had to get it working in Netscape and IE on the Mac. He abandonded the idea because he couldn't get it to work in other browsers. I believe he did it by using a textbox layer over the select box layer (or the other way around). It seemed pretty complex and neat when it worked. dsbrady -------------------------------- Scott Brady http://www.scottbrady.net/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
