RE: Pyschich Serch
The only thing missing in the functionality is to have the suggestion highlighted so I can hit enter when it's the *last* choice available. That way I don't have to click the choice with my mouse or use an arrow key to select the option.

Re: Pyschich Serch
Actually with YUI your NOT tied to one set of tools. You can have YUI and other properly name spaced js libs like Prototype and Scriptaculous on the same page. Also, since CF8 incorporates YUI it really is a good idea to learn a bit about what you can do with YUI. Also, with the YUI loader you can choose only the parts you need to load therefore minimizing the size of the JS files and Yahoo hosts the YUI JS files for everyone in the world to use so no need to add them to your server and add to your bandwidth usage. And hey, if you want to hand code it yourself. Go for it. I'd rather let someone else deal with the cross-browser/cross-os compatibility issues.

Re: Pyschich Serch
Incorporating Yahoo User Interfaces into your site isn't nesserary. Simple Javascript will handle any AJAX call that needs to be made. Heck, get Prototype. :) That way, you aren't tied to one set of tools. You might as well tell him to learn the google API. :) I just think it's overkill.

RE: Pyschich Serch
Don, You do it using ajax (referred to as 'auto-suggest'). There many different ways on how you can do it. One implementation is by using CF with jQuery. Check-out the following: http://www.dyve.net/jquery/?autocomplete http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/demo/ Most auto-suggest is done by simply looking up a corresponding field lookup to a database field record. But you can get real fancy with the query depending on what you need. Example: when you type in: Harrison Ford- it'll return the titles of his movies- that kind of thing.
