In Rails, can the options in a select field be edited like a text field?

Question

Hello. I have a problem on my application.

I have collection select code

<% baskets.each do |f| %> 
    <%= f.select :link, @books.collect{|x| [x.title, x.id]}.unshift(['Please select','']) %>
<% end %>

How do I make the select option editable like a text field so that I can copy and paste the link to choose from the book collections?

I've never tried this. Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks for your help :)

Instead of using a select field you could use a text field with auto complete.
