Hello. Im needing to do something that Im not sure I recall seing on the web before, but have seen in VB apps. I have a dropdown in .NET (in a DataGrid actually) that can have up to about 15K items in it. What Im really needing to do is to create a way that the user can type in to the box and search through the list. Im sure thats a bad example...
Netscape used to (Im not sure if it still does) have their Address box with the functionality to complete what youre typing with items from the list below. Similar to the IE Address bar now with it refining and narrowing the list after each character entered. So typing "this" will bring up all the items that start with "this" and typing in "this has been" will bring up the one item that says "this has been an awful day". Ive had this functionality in VB and VBA apps Ive programmed, but I cant seem to find this on the web.
Is it at all possible? Im using this in an DataGrid so my space and other items are limited, which is why I am trying to go this route using JScript.
Thanks for any help, links, or a swift kick in the butt anyone can supply me.
