dojo filteringSelect - allow entry of list items only

Question

Is there a way to force filteringselect to only allow the user to type items that appear in the drop list. I know that it will invalidate anything that is not in the list, but I would just rather it not allow invalid entries to show. Really, what I would like to see is behaviour that matches the HTML SELECT control. Dojo doesnt seem to provide this with any of its controls.

Im not sure if I read you okay but this is how it things go:

• If you type what is in the drop list of the FilteringSelect widget then there will be no validation error.

• If you want to match the HTML Select dropdown, then use dijit.form.Select .

• If you want to Filtering Select behaviour but want also be able to type in values that are not in the drop list, then use the dijit.form.ComboBox widget.
