200 doesn't seem that much to me. sandeep -Original Message- From: Avinash Gangadharan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 6:03 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [OT] UI Suggestion Request Hello All, I have a field in a form which expects a predefined set of data existing in the database. The dataset is of type code-description, where the user is expected to select or enter a description and the form passes back a code for it. This can be presented best in the form of a dropdown list. But my problem is that this set of data is huge ( around 200 rows ) and the descriptions for each code is also pretty long. What do you guys think could be a good replacement of the drop down list to prevent any bad data entry. I want to force the users to do something like a search and select kind of thing.

Re: [OT] UI Suggestion Request
I have seen people create a link to a pop-up window next to the a text input box. The pop-up window has a scrolling, possibly paged list of the descriptions you want the users to be able to select from. Each description is a hyperlink and when the user clicks on one of the descriptions, the pop-window closes and uses javascript to update the input text field with the code corresponding to the link the user clicked on.
