You can specifiy what is in a drop down, or use some simple javascript to
perform field checking. I've used the "onblur()" function to check an HTML
field against an array of data once the cursor leaves the field, this would
be pretty simple to implement if you were using a scripting language like
PHP. Well...at least when Eloquence support is added to PHP.
