Autocomplete Drop-Down List Boxes

S

S-Man

What my users are looking for is a dropdown list that allows you to
type, and
as you type characters, the items in the dropdown scroll to the item
with the
same starting characters. For example:

If I have a dropdown with a list containing
Allison, Carol
Almond, Shirley,
Becker, John
Beckwith, Mary
Smith, Allison
Smith, Tom


As the user types... 'B' brings us to the beginning of the B's, and
then
types 'eckw' Beckwith, Mary would be highlighted.


The current behavior is to match only the first character in the list
to
each cahracter that is typed.

Thanks for the link...but I am looking for a drop down list box, not a
combo box. Got anything else up your sleeve?
