Input text field autofilled

[AndieB]

Hi all,

 

I am new to this AJAX concept. Have walked through a couple of "tutorials" and get a bit of an idea of how things work out. But I seem not to understand how to get the following in place.

[*]A webpage with an INPUT field of type Text

[*]User should start a type a country name and it should lookup from a database (live search)

[*]When user notices that the correct country is shown, he/she should just hit enter to "select" it. If user finds the correct country two rows down, he/she should be able to step down with the arrow-keys and hit enter to autofill it in the text field.

 

How do I get the above in place?

 

Thankful for any kind of help or script examples or tutorials.

 

Sincerely,

 

Andreas
