There is no editable dropdown (select in HTML) in HTML. However, for clarity the ASP.NET exists on the server only, once the web page is to be sent to the client the code is converted to HTML markup browsers manipulate and work with HTML not ASP.NET.

JavaScript would be required to create dynamic website, and only and only JavaScript can enable such things. If you still want to create a dropdown that is editable, I can give a clue, you should place an input tag over the dropdown to make it "editable" and as soon as the user submits or presses enter. Remove that input element from (above the) the dropdown and show a simple dropdown box.

Solution 1

You can't do an editable drop down list in "straight" HTML. And you don't want to do it server side...

You need javascript or jQuery (IIRC the later includes one?)
