I think CFDEV has one too ... Cf_combobox ... But it does confuse users. Most people are used to clicking a dropdown.
I always do something like: [select[+] OR [inputfield] Meaning a selectbox - the word OR and then an input field But a fellow developer at the last company I worked for used the CFDEV combobox with pretty good success.

Personally I'd take an existing combobox script and combine it with a type ahead script. Like these... http://www.oztek.net/jon/combobox.htm http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/autocomplete/ Let me just say that I have found that combo boxes confuse users more than they help, and stopped using them. People are just to used to just clicking on a dropdown. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, January 22, 2003, 2:17:04 PM, you wrote: CM> Hi, CM> Does anyone have a tag or an example that I can look at to see how CM> to create a selectbox (dropdown) that will behave like a VB style CM> select box with type-ahead, so that as I type in the box the match CM> is automatically highlighted.
