Make the "drop down" to behave like a text box

[liebermann]

Hi,

I have this dropdown(select + options) with several options, but I also
want to let the user enter his own free text if he can't find his
preferred choice in the drop-down.

The way I had in mind is to have a hidden text field and to change it's
state when clicking on the drop down, but there must be an easier way.

Is there?

have a separate text box field - you can't type into a dropdown box in the
way you want.
