Matt Kruse's is definitely the best one. The first one blows hard. You have to type then click. That's not easier. Although why link it to a dropdown? If you have the drop-down on the page NEway, there is no need for NEthing else to complicate it.
This would work better with a populated array the user doesn't see. For example, when filling out an address info, build an array full of common city names, so when they start typing theirs, walla!

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 to create a selectbox (dropdown) that will behave like a VB style select box with type-ahead, so that as I type in the box the CM> match is automatically highlighted.
