I can cite several use cases for each. But again, I don't use them and using them might be much more annoying than anything else... Most of the time where one wants the ID associated to a description (be it user name or not) a combobox (i.e. select) is more appropriate. The auto complete field becomes more interesting if you have too many options to choose from. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
