[snip] I have written a new component that can be included in your form, and allows the user to search a data source by entering the search term(s) and using Ajax to return a list of results in a dropdown control, from which the user can select the desired item. It uses the prototype JavaScript library, which you need to get from their website. You can view a demo and download the source at: http://jeremywebdeveloper.co.za/code/ajaxsearch/ [/snip] Cool...I'd have the 'submit' button hidden until results were returned so as to avoid user confusion. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
