I have a form, SQLFORM.smartgrid (add new record page), containing a 
drop-down-list connected to a table in the database.

 It may be the user does not find a suitable item in the list and in this 
case I would like to allow the option of adding a new item.

Seems like this might be a common requirement so I thought I would seek 
advice/suggestions before trying to reinvent the wheel.

I am a bit conservative so don't really want to get into anything too 
messy. 

Currently I have a link next to the drop-down pointing to another page 
where the user can add a new item and be automatically redirected back.
This works but you lose any other fields data already filled in and have to 
start again. Something less clunky would be nice.
