I am writing an Xpage in which the user can create a new document. On field is a category field. I want this field to be a drop down or type ahead with the possible values to be based upon previous entries. The user should also be able to add a new entry. 

So this is the equivalent to a traditional dialog list field with "formula for choices" and the formula comes form the first categorized field on a view, with the "Allow values not in list" checked. 

I am using a dojo Combo Box, but it displays the values in the field itself, instead of in a drop down. 

Not sure what I am doing wrong:

My code is

 

<xe:djComboBox id="djComboBox2"

style="width:400px">

<xe:this.value><![CDATA[${javascript:var tmpView:String = "tipsByCategory";

var tmpColumn = 1;

var tmpVals = @DbColumn("",tmpView,tmpColumn);

tmpVals}]]></xe:this.value>

 

</xe:djComboBox>
