Contact form with user inputted Subject

Hi

 

I would like to add a subject <select> field to my contact form, where the user can select from certain subjucts or enter his/her own subject. What I have so far is:

 

<select name="client_subject">
<option value="">Select...</option>
<option value="Option 1">Option 1</option>
<option value="Option 2">Option 2</option>
<option value="Option 3">Option 3</option>
<option value="Option 4">Option 4</option>
<option value="Custom Subject"><input type="text" value="" size="40"></option>
</select>

This is only the select part of the form. When I use it like this, I get the input text field outside the dropdown list. I would like it to be inside the dropdown list as an option, and once selected, give you the input text field where you can enter your own custom subject to be added to the email that will be sent.

Not sure if this can be done with php but..

 

<script type="text/javascript">
  function custom_select_val(select_elm, prompt_text){
    var val = prompt(prompt_text, '');
    var option = document.createElement('option');
    option.setAttribute('value', val);
    option.innerHTML = val;
    option.selected = true;
    select_elm.appendChild(option);
  };
</script>

<select name="thing" onchange="if(this.value=='!') custom_select_val(this, 'Enter your custom value.')">
  <option value="static1">static item 1</option>
  <option value="static2">static item 2</option>
  <option value="static3">static item 3</option>
  <option value="!">[specify...]</option>
</select>
