Question

Auto Complete...

Hi All,

I have a page with a FORM in which one of the text input fields requires an auto complete feature. For example, if I type "int" into this text input field and pause for 2 seconds, I will see a list of possible words (that appear right below this text input) that start with "int", e.g., "intake", "integration", "intel", "", "intellectual", "intelligence"... and so forth.

Does anybody know if there's such thing (code feature) available for us to download for as long as we retain their Copyright and do not modify their code?

Many thanks in advance!

The webreference.com article is good, but I'm not sure that it addressed the issue of accessing your database asynchronously, for that, this article may come in handy:

AJAX

The code is PHP, but will be helpful for any scripting language.
