Question

How to make a List/Menu Drop Down Box Double as a Text Box

I use Dreamweaver MX2004 and 8 (I use both because some of my extensions don't work in the new version) connecting to an Access database with ASP VBScript pages. I am looking for a way to set up the List/Menu drop down select box in my form to also allow a user to type in a choice that does not appear in the drop down list. I have seen this done on other sites (Macromedia/Adobe to name one) and was wondering if anyone can help me with a way to do this via code or an extension. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Andy Lav

I'm looking for something very similar.... I have an "Other" choice in a
list/menu, and I need to display a text box when "Other" is selected. I'm
thinking that I need to show or hide a div when "Other" is selected... I
need a tutorial. Help?
