You will want your web app to be able to handle unexpected values
anyway, right? The web-developer extension on Firefox allows you to
"Make select fields editable" so you can test your application with
unruly values.

ouch, the purist would probably cringe - allows the user to change a
drop down. on the other hand it is kinda of cool. it sounds like you
are looking for an ajax solution.
Things to google:
ajax drop down type ahead

Hi folks, I'm wondering if anybody has seen a particular kind of control
I need.
It's called many things, but "editable Select box" seems to be a common
term. One example that is close to what I want is here:
http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/form_widget_editable_select/form_widget_editable_select.html
The trouble I'm running into is that none of the example out there seem
to do quite what I want. If somebody has seen or used one that does the
following, any links would be hugely appreciated:
1) Allows entry of a value not in the box (optionally turn this on or
off)
2) While user is typing, the drop-down list scrolls to the best current
match
3) Hitting "enter" or "tab" or whatever with a partial entry picks the
best current match
Anybody seen this?
