Ben Forta on the matter: http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/5/31/ColdFusion-Ajax-Tutorial-1-AutoSuggest How is your javascript? If good, I'd recommend plugging into a js framework directly and using an autosuggest widget written for that framework (ColdFusion is using the YUI autosuggest widget) - that bit of learning can save you massively in the long run. That said, the cf autosuggest works pretty well within its limited scope. HTH Dominic 2009/9/7 Les Irvin <[email protected]> > > Can CF do this? > > I have a database of, say, 1000 song titles.
