that might be a problem, cuz u see, the only way a browser updates itself is 
by refreshing.  outlook is an application, so things just show up as 
pressed.  but here is the way to do it, but i do not recommend it, and i 
will give an alternative solution.  in the search field, have it call a 
javascript for everytime you press a letter, and pass that letter to 
coldfusion to do a select statement "where WHATEVER = '#letter#%'", and the 
page refreshes with the new data.

instead, you should have the user press a submit button or an enter key 
instead.  teehee.  thats the alternative solution.  I mean who wants the 
page to refresh everytime they press a letter.  that's horrible and time 
consuming!  arghhH!!!
