I am trying to create an input form with a pull-down menu that allows a
user to add an item to the pull-down. I don't want the page to refresh
when I refresh the pull-down since there's entries on the form already.
Please help!

Thanks.

So let me get this straight.

You want to design either a select drop-down or another type of dropdown,
and the user can look at it to see if options exist for them to choose or
not. Then if they don't see the option they want, they can magically,
without any reloading of a page, have the necessary code suddenly
materialize within the document to make that happen?

Do I have this right?

The only thing you can do is have the drop-down, with "Other" as the final
choice, and a text box afterwards with the label "If Other, describe here:"
or something like that.

You can't do that with HTML, you need Javascript to create new options. The
option elements are handled as Objects, google for "new Option" or things
like that, or ask for more help in a Javascript group.

I'll try the Javascript group. Thanks.
