Re: ComboBox

The HTML element you probably want is a datalist[1]. There's no built-in Django support for datalist[2] so you'll probably need to create a custom widget.

Hi all

I am converting a desktop application to Django web application. The desktop app uses comboboxes (editable dropdown/select). Is their any elegant way of applying the same functionality in Django? Stack Overflow etc. all seem to be about dropdown select lists only.

I can see ways of doing this with a Choicefield plus a separate Charfield, but is there a better way?

Thanks -Phil
