manual input field OR dropdown value

[James]

Hi.

Not sure if I'm trying the impossible here but using VStudio 2005 I
have to allow for an editable Gridview field that gives a user the
option of manually typing a value OR selecting it from a list of common
values.

This spec request came late in the development process which is a drag.
I had already worked out how to let users use a dropdown for the
gridview field but to give them the additional ability to enter a
non-common value is beyond me at the moment.

Any tips for an old .ASP lover appreciated.

James.

Unfortunately there is no ComboBox in HTML. But you can create one using
JavaScript or use one that somebody else already wrote.
Here are some suggested resources for creating an ASP.NET combo box:
