I would like to have a popup window to show the possible options to a form field

I wonder if this is possible to do with python (point me some resources please),
or have I to deal with _javascript_ ?
The browser-side programming has to be in _javascript_. The server-side
program that sends the _javascript_ and the list of options to the browser
can be in Python.
You might want to look at the TurboGears widget set which provides many
browser-side widgets that are configured from Python. Widgets are part
of TG 1.0. Unfortunately the docs seem to be a bit thin and sorting it
all out is probably not a beginner project.

Many thanks, Kent,
that’s what
I was afraid of.
Well an alternative would be to use a drop down box with all the
suppliers ID’s
as options - a few thousands, is it viable? But this way the user can
not
introduce manually any ID, he would be forced to pick one from the drop
down
box.
In order to
give users booth possibilities, I can put an input field and a drop
down box that
would be dealt by a try / except clause.
what do you think?
