chronister Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I have had good luck with ajax. I don't know javascript to save my life, but I was able to take an ajax script (found on w3schools) and modify it to my likings.It pulls the data perfectly the way I want it. Since php is providing the actual results, it was pretty easy to make it do what I wanted.Good Luck Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/32722-what-is-best-tool-for-lookup-field-autocomplete-search/#findComment-152754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
