jcbarr Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Okay, do you want this select box to pull values from your database or is it going to be static? As far as being able to manually enter the value by typing text in to the box, I would check HTML pages for that, I don't believe that is going to be PHP based.

brendandonhue Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 It's called a combobox, if you check on Google there are some implementations of it in JavaScript.

jwk811 Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 that looks good but it has no code for how to make it. and would there be one with a textbox format like the cursor changes and you need to click in Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/28381-textselect-box-how-do-you-make-those/#findComment-129935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendandonhue Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 There's a big button at the top that says download. And you can probably change the cursors with CSS.
