change select BOX to Input Box

[RameshChaudhary]

Below part of code of .

Below codes shows drop down/select box, when option is selected it is redirected to the url.

What i would like to do is i like input box instead drop down/select box. USer can enter title ( option of dropdown/select box) manually.

$query = "SELECT j.* FROM #__weblinks j inner join #__categories jc on j.catid = jc.id where $cat  j.published='1' AND jc.published='1' ORDER BY $orderStr";
        $db->setquery($query);
        $rows=$db->loadObjectList();
        error_reporting(E_ERROR); 
        $url = $_SERVER['SERVER_URI'];
    
        echo "<form action='" . $url . "' method='post' >";
        

            echo "<select style='display:none'  name='add' id='add'";
            if ($autodirect == 1) 
                {
                     echo " onChange='this.form.elements";
                     echo "[\"submit\"].click();' />";
                }
            else
            {
                echo " />";
            }        
        if ($blank == '1')
            echo "<option value='' />";
        if ($custom != '')
        {
            echo "<option value='' />".$custom;
            if ($separator != '')
                echo "<option value='' />".str_repeat($separator,strlen($custom));
        }

        foreach ($rows as $row)
        {
            echo "<option value='" .$row->url. "' /> ". $row->title;
        }
        echo "</select>"; 

Any Help will be highly appreciated..
