It looks like this does most of the Javascript side of things for you - I haven't looked at it beyond playing with the demos, but it seems pretty slick.

There's two distinct parts you have to consider: 1) the UI, and 2) the server interaction. The latter is quite simple. Check out Neuromancer (hit google). It's an abstraction layer for doing asynchronous HTTP requests from javascript. Basically two lines of code and you can make requests to the server without loading a page. There are various other methods as well, but that's a really simple one that I use with great success. The UI is a little more complex, depending on how "slick" you need it to be. Simplest is probably to just populate a SELECT dropdown with the dynamic options. Google Suggest goes for broke with a div, higlighting, keyboard trapping for moving the selection, etc. cheers, barneyb On Sun, 20 Mar 2005 21:42:26 -0500, Pete Ruckelshaus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone done anything like Google Suggest on CF?
