help, how am I gonna insert or make the "To Recipient" form into a dropdown menu of the contacts usersname in the database?

Could you be a bit more vague, please?

 

What framework?

 

Tried a loop?

[sasori]

its a cake framework sir

 

here's the "i think" code of the recipient text box

 

    
    // autocomplete
    $formMailCompose .= $html->div('input text floatLeft', 
        '<label for="Accounts/name">To</label>' .
            $ajax->autoComplete('_Account_', 'autocomplete', array(
            'afterUpdateElement' => 'updateHidden',
            'style' => 'width: 410px; margin-left: 30px;'
        )
    ));
    
    // target_id
    $formMailCompose .= $form->hidden('target_account_id', array(
        'id' => 'target_account_id'
    ));

 

so how am i gonna insert or  make the dropdown menu  to make it appear like

 

To Username: "dropdown here"

 

instead of

 

To Username: "input box here"
