This script adds auto-complete/type-ahead/ tracing/find-as-you-type effect to dropdown menus in Internet Explorer. In IE, when user press "MA" in a dropdown menu, IE will first select the first option starting with "M", then select the first option starting with "A", giving user "AK" while user actually wanted "MA" for Massachusetts. Using this script, user will get “MA” if “M” and “A” are consecutively typed (if user type “M”, then after a while “A”, user will still be taken to “AK” as an intended behavior). Comments in script is provided so that one can customize to determine how fast user has to type to get “MA” not “M”, “A”. Currently all printable characters on keyboard and keypad are supported (except for those needing the "shift" key). Both IE and Gecko-based browsers (firefox, mozilla, netscape, K-meleon etc.) are supported. Version 1.0 supports your using user-typed value to populate other menus.

Auto-complete type-ahead dropdown menu in JavaScript :: Forms

Mingyi has eliminated the need to set field names in the script--eliminating potential errors. Makes it literally copy & paste.
He even modified it to work with keypad entry.

Hi, Very useful utility/code, its said to be working in Netscape. But it doesnt work properly in Netscape. Only consecutive strike of same characters alone works, if i type BABA it doesnt work, if i type BBB / CCC it fetches right. Please advice.
Thanks & Regards

| OWNER'S RESPONSE: |
Sorry I responded so late. I just found out how to respond to a comment (it'd be better if you write to my email address listed in the script).
I actually tested my script in netscape 8.1 two days after you posted your comment and I found it was working great. I did not see any problem that you mentioned, maybe you were using too old a version of netscape that has some bad JS support (like low version) please try with netscape 8.1.
