Just an update on doing the partial-match-as-you-type with a :<tree> element.
It all works fine and does exactly what I need. I used a completely standard <tree> that I built dynamically using JavaScript from the data retrieved from the SQL server. There were a few attributes that I needed to use to get what I wanted; these include hidecolumnpicker="true", seltype="single" and disableKeyNavigation="true". I use an onkeypress() to match the partial key as the user types and the list is automatically scrolled to show the matching item in the tree's window - all done in JS. The user can also select with cursor keys, mouse-pointer, enterkey and doubleclick. It does all that I can wish for and connects with a remote database, my only reservation is that I may find that the JS gets slow when I am building the tree with large data lists. I don't anticipate any slowdown with the actual partial key match with larger lists as I am using a binary search to keep pace. _______________________________________________ Mozilla-xpcom mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-xpcom
