tfburges Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm pretty sure this is mostly javascript related but maybe you guys can point me in the right direction. A good starting point/example would be the search field at the top of youtube. When a user begins to enter their query, a drop down menu appears with a list of like terms that narrow down as the user enters more letters. A screenshot of my page: http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/7227/43622298nx9.png I don't necessarily need the drop down menu but I would like for the entire form to instantly autocomplete with the most recent data when a user enters a serial no. or company name that is already stored in the database. I could do it with a search button beside each desired field but I would really prefer not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 You'll need some AJAX. There was actually a tutorial for an auto-suggest on ajaxfreaks, but that's been down a while im afraid. However, if you google, im sure you'll find some examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
