It sounds as though what you're looking for is an autocomplete widget. Dreamweaver doesn't have any built-in capability to create one. You can probably find one by doing a Google search for YUI autocomplete or jQuery autocomplete. Your success in implementing it will depend greatly on your JavaScript skills.

I have never used an autocomplete widget, so I can't offer any specific advice. Sorry.
