Menu
In a Windows Forms application, a drop-down selector list also gives the user the option of typing an alternate value into that same field (assuming the developer has left this option enabled on the control.)
How does one accomplish this in HTML? It appears as if it is only possible to select values from the list.
If it's not possible to do this with straight HTML, is there a way to do this with Javascript?

To get the value of a select or dropdown in HTML using pure JavaScript, first we get the select tag, in this case by id, and then we get the selected value through the selectedIndex property. The value "en" will be printed on the console (Ctrl + Shift + J to open the console).
There are many ways to design a <select> dropdown menu using CSS. The Dropdown Menu is mainly used to select an element from the list of elements. Each menu option can be defined by an <option> element that can nested inside the <select> element.
It can be done now with HTML5
