Hi All,

I am wanting to create a drop list box which when you enter and type a letter or number the current hilighted entry seraches progressively.

For example if I have a drop list of names and enter B the list moves to the head of Names beginning with B, if I then enter R it will move to the start of names beginning BR and not to those beginning R.

Is this possible...if so how?

Many Thanks In Anticipation

The only way i know of is by using an ActiveX component or Java that maintains a sense of state. ASP pages are not event driven like the above but can be modified by including sub routines and event triggers. Infragistics is a company that does a lot of ActiveX stuff that does what you intend to do.
