Question

I am currently implementing a form in CodeIgniter that needs to have a drop down select that takes data from a database, this is easy enough, however I would like to have an open text selection available too, preferably not creating a new form input box but having a free text where the select sits.

Would anyone know a way to achieve this, I have been thinking there must be a way to use Ajax or something for this but I cannot for the life of me work it out.

Thanks

Events wont work on options so no!

You could try something like this semi solution

Would need to be tweaked a little. be careful to add the values manually yourself. {note:} after your done with the other element, remove it! else it will show for all the options when you re-select them.
