php form help

[techris]

In programs such as quickbooks, if you click on a drop down menu and start typing...

example: Techris

Quickbooks will look for matches that start with 'T' then 'Te' then 'Tec' and so forth until you are finished typing.

When a form field in a browser is used with the same word the browser looks for matches that start with 'T' then 'e' then 'c' and so forth.

Is there any way to make an html drop down menu work similar to the way they do in programs such as quickbooks instead of just taking the first letters typed?

I am open to other language options if anyone can think of how to do it.

Thanks in advance!

You cannot do that with a server side language, but you could try a client-side one, like javascript. forum216.
