Drop Down Lists 1

[varnix]

I am creating a drop down list from a cold fusion query, which works just fine.

What I am now looking for, I don't know if it would be a CF solution, javascript or something else entirely.

But, basically, what I have is a long list items - specifically they are department codes, probably 200-500 of them.

For example:
301 - IT
514 - Human Resources
676 - Dietary Offices

Of course there are many other numbers between the ones listed.

What my users would like the ability to do is type in 676 and have it go right there. Right now when they hit the '6', it brings them to 600 and then they have to scroll through to find the appropriate listing.

Does anyone know of any way to do this?

Thanks!

This script

Could do the trick for you.. with some adaptation..

Just a thought.

I found it in google by typing javascript auto complete.

Webmigit -
That's not exactly what I was looking for, but it does the job beyond a doubt! I hadn't even thought of trying to integrate an input box!

Good find and my great thanks!

Now I can get my co-workers to stop complaining about the drop down menu!

Thanks again!
