I have a web page created that has three areas that I would like to be able to enter data into from a drop-down box or have the text field empty and I could fill it in as needed, BUT, I do not want the drop-down box to show as a drop-down box on the page. I want it only for me to enter data and my choice be visible. OR maybe a form that I can fill in that cannot be edited by the visitor. I think I found something like this on the net somewhere, but I can't find it now. I really need help quickly. Thanks.
I think what you are referring to is a Combo box. Unfortunately, there is currently no combo box in HTML. The W3C are working on plans to have one when XFroms [w3.org]. Until then we need to work around it.
You can do something like this with JavaScript, and I believe that the Ext/Yahoo UI javascript frameworks have one - maybe that's what you saw?
