Hello All,
Am trying to decide on the best way to implement a combobox on a form. Basically I have a form and some <select> fields which are populated from a mysql database.

My problem is I want users to be able to add options to the list and have the new options written back to the mysql database. I first thought about having a text field beside the drop list where new values could be typed in. When the form is submitted, if the text field has data, it is saved. This works but I think it looks crap.

I have had a look around for some javascript comboboxes, but not being too hot on javascript, I was wondering if anyone has successfully implemented something like this or has any tips. Cheers!
