Yes, you are correct. Thanks. I already have a full blown Application developed using CAP and H::T. So using Template Toolkit right now is not an option for me. Now I am adding a page that has a select box with 60,000+ names stored in Oracle database that needs to be shown as dropdown options. So started looking at these Modules and AJAX. My idea is to provide a text field and a button. After user enters a few characters and clicks the button, I intend to populate the select drop down with names matching the text field entry. I am still at a learning phase so any ideas or sample code to accomplish this in CAP and H:;T would be a great help.
You should look at using the AutoComplete object in HTML::Prototype. It will do exactly what you are trying to do, with minimal fuss. I have an example app running that uses this feature if you want to have a look at how I did it: http://cees.crtconsulting.ca/perl/examples/podviewer/ In fact, a version of that example is included with the source for CGI::Application::Plugin::HTMLPrototype. Although my example uses Template Toolkit. You can try and get it to work with HTML::Template, but if that fails, you can always just use the JavaScript library directly. Just run my example code, and then do a view source in the browser to see the exact JavaScript code that the HTML::Prototype library generates for you. Then just copy and paste that into your templates.
