First, create a form with the select box and a text box above it:
<form name="myForm" method="post" action=""> <input type="text" name="sSearchName" > document.forms.myForm.optUsers );" value="" autocomplete="off"><br>
<select size="20" name="optUsers" multiple="multiple">
<option value="#user_id#">#user_name#</option>
... loop through user lists
</select>
Then create the _javascript_:
<script language="_javascript_">
function ChangeDisplay(iUser) {
//document.all.frmLookup.src =""> "administration/userlookup.cfm?iSelectedUserID=" + iUser;
frames['frmLookup'].location.href =""> "administration/userlookup.cfm?iSelectedUserID=" + iUser;
return;
}
function vHighLight(obj, objSelect) {
var iLength = obj.value.length;
for (i=0; i<=iLength; i++) {
var sMatch =
objSelect[i].text.substr(0,iLength).toLowerCase();
var sName = obj.value.toLowerCase();
if (sMatch == sName) {
objSelect[i].selected = true;
userid = objSelect[i].value;
break;
}
}
}
</script>
You'll need to put in some more code to handle the form submit, but that
should get you started...I hope.

Subject: re: Huge dropdown list of names...type in name as well as selecting
it???
Hi,
I have a <select> lists thats used when logging into my application and it
can be quite large. Its a list of user name which gets updated on the fly as
accounts are created.
Currently when I logged in there was a huge list of users had to select
from. Is there any way that I could allow users to type in their user name
as well as select it. The idea would be like how the
Outlook address book works. I type my name in and it scrolls down until it
finds it.
Thoughts?
