I am try http://www.orbeon.com/ops/xforms-controls/ in Opera 9, IE 6, and FF 2. IE was blasted out in moment, Opera and FF works as far, as JavaScript is turned on. And opera has problem with positioning list with choices items. Without JS Opera nd FF even not switches tabs. I am surprised about existing of this limitations. As far as i know, browser don't render input controls by yourself, but uses OS controls library (WinAPI/MFC, GTK, and so on). Is a ComboBox with arbitrary input in MFC? I don't know yet, but i trying to find now. At least in Inprise's VCL Library ComboBox control can be tuned to allow arbitrary input or not. If i found way to use windows native ComboBox with arbibrary input, i will suggest to Mozilla devs group to include this option in Firefox, but i want that feature to be included in standart too. I think that simple problems must have simple answers. So i think that adding one parameter (may be 'arbitrary' or 'allowunlisted') in <select> tab is more suitable then complex solution with alternative standarts (XForms) and scripting languages. One question: Do you think that feature of allowing arbitrary input in <select> control is suitable and useful?
