I'm a newbie to all of this, and it seems like I want to do the opposite of what everyone else is trying to do. I want to have users enter in names in text fields (Name1, Name2, etc) and then have those names become options in a drop down menu in addition to them typing a different name (entering own text). Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced, Sarah.
