Auto-fill is what Julia says it is. Maybe you mean autocomplete? But there is a difference in how you present the "Typing ahead"-functionality: - You can do it with a dropdownlistbox as in the browser searchbox (you first have to perform an action (with your mouse) and then you can press enter) - You can do it with an auto complete (inline, you can click enter the minute it matches your desired destination) as with what the Safari addressbar does Grtz Jeroen On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 3:30 PM, Sarah Weise <weise_sa...@bah.com> wrote: > Typically, auto fill is when you type into a open-ended search box > (google, for example) and it automatically guesses what you want to > say as you type. > > Type ahead works slightly differently.
