It depends on what you mean by "the display box" and by "typing the 
item" in it - the latter expression is now homeless, maybe you meant to 
write "by" instead of "but".

It's also quite possible that you really mean something different from 
what you write. What would it help to add an item to an "Options List" 
(which probably means the collection of <option> elements inside a 
<select> element) that way? If you wish to allow free text input, why 
don't you just do that, with <input type=text>?
