I have a form with an input box and a button next to it
if the button is clicked, I would like the input box to be
changed to a select box, is this possible ? with or without layers
thanks in advance.

Here's one version using <div> tags. You can also rewrite the specific tag you want changed using scripts but that's a bit more complicated if you want to change the selectbox often.

Code:

<script>
function change_box(use_box_2){
 document.getElementByID('alt1').style.display= use_box_2?'none':'block'
 document.getElementById('alt2').style.display= use_box_2?'block':'none'
 
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="checkbox" onclick="switch_tag(this.checked)"><br>
<div id="alt1">
<input type="input>
</div>
<div id="alt2">
<select><option>Test</select>
</div>
