Akulaari Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hello, Has anyone knowledge about autofilling html forms with php and or javascript? I have a list of device names (which all contain numbers and letters, and same amount of characters each). And then I have input form in html with a text field, into where user is supposed to type device name. Here I would like to have autofill function so, that user does not have to type ENTIRE device name (because they are much alike all (but of course everyone is different)). So when user inputs first 1-2 characters, autofill function would give a list of suggestoins for device name (From my devicename list) starting with characters user has given into field. I have seen such features, and tried looking for such, but for example this: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/life-autocomplete-textboxes/ did not work at all... Anyone have a solution so that I did not have to re-invent the wheel. Thanks.

haku Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It's an ajax feature. Try the AJAX forum for more specific help. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/128158-autofilling-html-forms/#findComment-663790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akulaari Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Problem solved, found a nice how-to: http://freeajaxscripts.net/directory/Other_Ajax_Scripts/Ajax_dynamic_list/details.html This Ajax thing is new to me, but it looks like very big bunch of fancy toys to work with.
