"Select Tag" 1

I'm interested in finding out if anyone knows a way to get
the scrolling window created for Select Tags to "jump" for more than one keyboard character. I have Select Tags with hundreds of options and being able to type in the first character to select on is helpful, but what would be more helpful would be able to quick-type several characters to extend the search past the first character to the second and subsequent characters as with Microsoft Windows Explorer keyboard input for filename selection once the Name
button has been clicked on the Contents header bar...

I am not sure if this is an HTML limitation or a browser limitation. I'm currently using I.E. 5.0... any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated and save my users a lot of time...

Thanks Mighty! :-D

I placed the files from the Zip Archive into the same directory as my ASP stuff and the demo ran fine. I write most of my ASP code using VBScript. I am trying to incorporate the ComboBox code and I'm running into some problems. I am using IE5.0 for a browser. I am told that ComboBox is undefined at the -->
dm=new ComboBox(&quot;dm&quot;)<-- line in the following code snippet.
Could you please help me pinpoint my ineptitude...:~/

all that combo box stuff is not JavaScript code. Klae

If you keep giving out one liners that act as teasers and
provide no useful information as a followup then I would suggest that you change your signature line... your last
answer left something to be desired!

I took the original code and imbedded it. In the original code there was no specification of language for scripting:

<script>

dm=new ComboBox(&quot;dm&quot;)

dm.add(
new ComboBoxItem(&quot;barge&quot;,1),
new ComboBoxItem(&quot;benluc&quot;,2),
new ComboBoxItem(&quot;benlieeeeck&quot;,3),
new ComboBoxItem(&quot;taco&quot;,4)
)

</script>
 ...

I just wish to make a simple enhancement but I'm stumped...
Perhaps I'll take this to the ASP forum... :-I

combobox equivalents in HTML are like this (no need for javascript)


Code: 
<select id=select1 name=select1>
<option>option 1</option>
<option>option 2</option>
</select>

Thanks Klae:

The reason I didn't want a Select Tag was stated in the original post... I require the functionality of scrolling down to a selection by typing (in sequence) more than one character. The Select Tag only allows for the first character of a selection to be used as such. Any idea why
ComboBox seems to be undefined after inclusion of ComboBox.js???

If you are going to use Jaredn's code then hopefully Jaredn won't mind if you take the linked .js code that you need to complete this very good combobox code. click on the link
and then delete &quot;index.htm&quot; and put in &quot;ComboBox.js&quot; (URL IS CASE-SENSITIVE!) and then you can see the functions that create the comboboxes and that are called by the code that you have successfully obtained. Hopefully now I have read the complete thread and seen the Jaredn code, I can now stop embarrassing myself :). Klae
