Nor should it be possible.  This sounds eerily like the "combo box", a
widget with a lot of fundamental flaws.  If you want to include this
type of functionality, have an option on the select named "other" and
a separate text box to hold the user's entry.  It's easy enough to
have a CGI parse that.
