[Javascript] add a new entry in a drop down menu

[Mike Dougherty]

DHTML can be used to make a fair approximation of a combo.

I would ask if it's really necessary to build controls when (certain)
users don't understand the existing controls.  Is there another way to
represent your input and choice controls so they make intuitive sense
for the user but do not require the developer to build/support a 'new'
idea?  (even if the VB-style combo isn't exactly a new interface, it's
not a native web control)

Are you talking about a Combo box where users can select 
values or enter them in?  If so, that's not going to be possible with 
straight HTML. You might be able to find an ActiveX object, 
or script one, but it's not going to be easy.
