ddl complete as typing

[kaijanm]

Hello. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have a drop down list of Employers. I would like the user to be able to start typing into it and have it go to the spot in the list based on what they are spelling out, not just the first letter.

The default behavior seems to do the following. Say you're looking for 'Albuquerque Computers'. The user starts typing 'Albuquerque' and what happens is the 'A' brings them to the first 'A' item in the list, but then the 'l' brings them to the first 'L' item in the list rather than the first 'Al' item.

Any ideas how to have this bring up the first 'Al' word rather than change to L* words?

Thanks!
Kimberly
