dubster5 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Not really sure which category this fits in so i'll just go with "other" for now. I need to make a form field 'find as you type' similar to the one used on ebay where as you start typing a work into the search field it brings up a list of suggested search phrases. Anyone know how to do this?? i've done a quick search on google but cant seem to find any information on it. Thanks in advance ps the site is written in php if that makes a difference (although i suspect it wont) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/172819-find-as-you-type-form-fields/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Its called 'autocomplete', and its done with Ajax (a combination of Javascript and some server side tech eg; php). Theres a few jQuery plugins around that should get you started.
