User Friendly Drop Down

[PallaviDalvi]

In a HTML drop down control, i have a lot of values populated.... i want that pressing a character displays the values starting with the character....this is however a built in feature of the HTML control. now further i want that if 'CA' is pressed by the user, values starting with 'CA' shud be displayed.... currently what happens is... pressing 'C' displays values starting with 'C', pressing 'A' displays values starting with 'A'. Thanx for the help!

With a regular dropdown, impossible. You could use a hidden field,and then search the dropdown with entered keys and set the focus. That might be too much hard work. I could try it if you are interested.

Thanx for the help and info. I guess the effort involved is way too much compared to the requirement and use! Using the feature provided by the HTML control seems to be the sensible solution.!
