<DIV><SPAN class=583302308-25062003>Well,I really dont see too much difference
between the SELECT and the combo box wrt JAVASCRIPT as both are used in
tandem.But as Walter rightly pointed out,the difference is more obvious in a VB
form I guess.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=583302308-25062003>Anyways,coming to the problem,in fact there
is a work around for this.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=583302308-25062003>If the requirement is that the user should
be able to create a new item by keying in info,it can be done with this
workaround:</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=583302308-25062003>Create a text box wherein the user keys in
the info.Onclick of a button or onBlur of that particular text field, a JS
function can be invoked which will do the "new option" creation as mentioned
earlier. </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=583302308-25062003>There is always a way...:-)...</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=583302308-25062003></SPAN> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><SPAN class=722120805-25062003>Not to be too picky,
but a SELECT Element in HTML is *not* a combo-box.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><SPAN class=722120805-25062003>A "combo-box" is a VB
Object that lists you, the user-not the developer, create a new item to a pick
list by keying the info right a the pick list.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000><SPAN
class=722120805-25062003></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000><SPAN class=722120805-25062003>An HTML SELECT Element

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><SPAN

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><SPAN class=722120805-25062003>So, your example is
nice "one liner", it does not make the SELECT a combo box.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><SPAN class=722120805-25062003>I was eager to see the

<DIV><FONT color=#000000><SPAN class=722120805-25062003>Anyway, as I said,
