autocomplete and typing 1

[EwS]

The following article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/forms/autocomplete_ovr.asp"

states, "The information is provided from previously submitted field values."

I noticed that when I type something into a textbox and press the submit button, the textbox value is saved by the autocomplete feature.

However, when I populate the textbox through this code:
document.[formName].[textboxName].value = "bla bla bla"
and press the submit button, the textbox value is not being saved.

It's looks like autocomplete is more of a "keyboard fearure" that cares only for values that were actually typed. Is this true? Is there any way I can make autocomplete work with textboxes that were both "typed into" and "populated with"?

Thank you for your suggestions.

I think you'd have to write your own solution in Javascript.
