Hi, You could make your wms layer wfs compatible and make a getFeature request when your page loads. Then, for each returned feature, get the 'name' and 'bbox' of the feature's geometry and populate your combobox using DOM. I made something similar in the past (1). The only exception is that I found the getFeature resquest a bit heavy, so I made a small mapscript script that would only return the name + geom of features I needed. I made it the same format as OpenLayers.Format.Text (see what getCities.php returns in firebug).
Or, you could also take a look at the Shortcuts and Recenter examples of MapFish (2) (if you're thinking of using ExtJS in your application). Shortcuts works "client-side" only and you need to manually set your data (like above). Recenter uses a server-side application to do the queries (mapfish-server).
