OK, comboboxes appear to be rather complicated and I'm stumped. As a user types into a combobox I use on rawKeyUp keyCode to notice that a new character has been added to the combobox.
I then do a database search to see all the data that matches the characters currently in the combobox. I then replace all the data in the combobox with the data returned from the database. This puts the first alphabetical value as the combobox label (or whatever that is referred to). This all works fine. The thing I want to do next is to select the characters after what the user actually typed in the ?label? of the combobox so that the next character they type replaces all those. For example: user types: joe script returns joebill joebob joemammy joemomma The value displayed in the combobox is now joebill and what I want "selected" in the combobox is "bill" (if capital letters signify a selection ...) joeBILL so that if the user types "m" the combobox the script is now going to display joemAMMY and the selections presented will just be joemammy joemomma what script would select some of the characters within "joemammy" like for example characters "ammy" (aka characters 5 to 8)?
