ouch, the purist would probably cringe - allows the user to change a drop down. on the other hand it is kinda of cool. it sounds like you are looking for an ajax solution.

Hi folks, I'm wondering if anybody has seen a particular kind of control I need. It's called many things, but "editable Select box" seems to be a common term. One example that is close to what I want is here: http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/form_widget_editable_select/form_widget_editable_select.html The trouble I'm running into is that none of the example out there seem to do quite what I want. If somebody has seen or used one that does the following, any links would be hugely appreciated: 1) Allows entry of a value not in the box (optionally turn this on or off) 2) While user is typing, the drop-down list scrolls to the best current match 3) Hitting "enter" or "tab" or whatever with a partial entry picks the best current match Anybody seen this? _______________________________________________ New York PHP Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk NYPHPCon 2006 Presentations Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Show Your Participation in New York PHP http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
