I might be adding more types, and possibly also breeds, where there may be
a large number of choices. Is there a way to make a combo-box, where the
applicant may enter an unlisted type or breed?

I don't recall any.

But one can surely have a drop-down list including "* Another * ",
where selecting that un-hides a box to type the name into. But it's not
clear how you could use an unrecognised name, except by reference to a
human. Code could charge extra for "Rottweiler"; but how about
"Rotveiller"? I suspect that many of the owners of nasty dogs are not
good at spelling.


I'm not sure how deeply I will delve into
JavaScript, as it gets confusing when I am writing in several languages.

It's always worth looking for repetitive code that could be made into a
subroutine ... but not always worth making that change.
