This is normal select processing...as an example if the visitor tabbed
to this field on the form and typed F, Florida would appear

<select size=3D"1" name=3D"BusinessState">
		<option value=3D"  " selected>Select a state</option>
                      <option value=3D"AL">Alabama</option>
                      <option value=3D"FL">Florida </option>
                      <option value=3D"NM">New Mexico </option>
                      <option value=3D"NY">New York </option>
                      <option value=3D"WY">Wyoming </option>
                      </select><br>

box


I was looking for a way to type into the drop-down (select) box and have
the list filter to match the nearest entry - something like the
drop-down list that takes the URL in Internet Explorer. Do you know how
to do this?

This is default behavior for javascript select boxes. It only can
highlight or search for one entry.

  Hello,

  I have created a database-driven drop-down list using ASP. I would
like this drop-down list to respond using predictive text (like in VB) -
that is, I would like the drop-down to filter the list and highlight the
first entry corresponding to the letter(s) entered by the user. Does
anyone know an easy way to do this?



  Thanks,

  Jen.
