I need to let users select an item from a dropdown list, but also allow them to instead enter any text, even if it doesn't match an item in the list. How can I achieve this on a web page with HTML and Javascript?
The select
field doesn't let users enter text, and the input
text field doesn't show the preferred alternatives.
All items must show if the user opens the dropdown, so it can't be a simple auto-complete that only shows matching items.
I think this will meet your requirements:
