Greetings to all from down under (Australia that is!)
Just wondering if I could pose a question.
I am building a system and the client wants a few entry fields where they
can behave like a list
box (ie: with a set of options loaded from a database table) but if the
option they want is not
there they can type it in and the system will add it to the database table
for next time.
A few questions are :
1. Can you make a list box behave this way? I'm sure I've seen web sites
with list boxes that
also allow you to type characters into the box. They could I use an
event to test for a new
value or something.
2. Another option I guess is to use a normal text field and when they enter
something I can
check to see if it exists and complete the field for them.
I am sure that CF allows you to do something suitably clever here - I just
cant find it!
Any bright ideas appreciated.
