Question

Is there any difference between drop down box and combo box [ HTML ]?

Answer 1

A combo box should have more than one item on a predefined list always visible to the user and should either:

enable users to select a single item from the predefined list and/or type their own value;

or

enable users to select multiple items from a displayed predefined list and/or add their own value

A drop-down/drop-list box should only display and enable users to select one item from a predefined list.
