Question

I want to have a drop down menu where a user can select from several predefined options but i also want to give him the option of inserting a user specific value, i was thinking having one of the options as "user specific" which will in turn allow the user to insert a user specif entry in a text box that appears or is editable when user selects the "user specific" option. any one have any ideas how i can implement this is HTML and Javascript?

thank you

Attach an onchange event to the select and when he selects “Custom” or something like that, make some input visible below the select. This input should be initially hidden (css display:none). When the user selects “custom” make it display:inline.
