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.

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.

Thanks 
Avinash
