#1... If you type the first letter of the name with the focus on the
<select>, it will jump to that section and you don't have to scroll
quite as far.
#2... You could probably write some _javascript_ that would fairly simply
loop over the values in the <select> whenever a letter is entered in the
text input and if you find a value in the select list whose first x
characters match what was entered in the textbox then make that
selected. It shouldn't be too hard to write.
Hope that helps.

Subject: RE: Huge dropdown list of names...type in name as well as
selecti ng it???
Let me clarify that.
I do log in with just a username and password. Once logged in there is a
selection dropdown box where you can select a user profile? This profile
list is whats very large.
Sorry for the confusion.
