combo box

how to get a combo box in jsp which allows editing as well as selecting with in a single box..?

JSP can't offer you a view component that is not already part of the standard HTML.

To get a combo box you'll have to use some Java Script tricks or try getting a JSF component which supports such features.

A couple of Jquery plugins that could help you are --> Flexbox and Combo Box.

well, in jsp page, you can put HTML code for combo box like:

<%@ page import = "javal.sql.ResultSet"%>
<%
ResultSet res = request.getParameter("ur action class's RS object");
%>

<form name = "combo">
<select name = "combobox" onFocus=""> //if any javascript function you need to call
<option value = "<%=res.getString("columnname")%>" selected><%=res.getString("columnname")%>
</option> //where res is an object of ResultSet 
<option value ="1"> Yes </option>
<option value = "2"> NO </option>
</select>
</form>

hoping to be helpful to you

Umm ...This would give a drop down select box and not a combo box.
Yes you can combine this technique with any of the Java Script libraries that turn a simple select box to a combo box.

Repeat after me: an HTML <select> is not a "combo box".

Please read this for more information.
