Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone knew if there is such a thing as a dropdown
menu box that allows inputting your own entry. ie)the address box of a
web browser shows a drop down box, but at the same time, you may enter
your own address.

what is this type of function called, what language is it in, and does
anyone happen to know where i can get some sample code?

thanks for ur time,

That is in DHTML or JavaScript.....

....btw...that is in JavaScript or DHTML...i believe it is called
autocomplete box combo?

I think he is refering to the address bar in IE. Similar to auto
complete in NetBeans IDE / Microsoft Visual IDE's?

Thanks for the replies...
Jake was right...i am trying to implement the address bar in IE. A
better example would probably be the search box in google suggests

Sorry for the confusion about my question...

In Windows, it's a standard Windows control (been around since 3.1) and
is called a "Dropdown ComboBox". You can create a ComboBox in a window
in just about any language.

Similar controls for other GUI environments will have other names, OC.

Thanks for the reply Programmer Dude...
