sure - take a look at: http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/read/345934.htm
FF1.0+ and IE6+ support auto-decompression, so you don't need to do anything
on the browser end.
Also - if all the users start with W-U-, can't you just strip these
characters off during the SQL queries? Or am I missing something? So if I
was W-U-Wild, I would be displayed just Wild, and typing Wi would bring up
my name.

yeah, i know it's bad, and i have tried to talk them out of it, I am just
going to have to do it the best way possible, and let them live with the
consequences. I also suggested exactly what you have said here, just a text
box, where you can type in, and as you do, the valid users starting with the
typed in chars appear. This could work for them, but would be trickey,
seeing every single one of their users start with the same 4 chars (W-U-).
So, I wouldn't be able to bring the list of users that match back until they
had typed in at least 5 chars, and they would see this as "it's not
working". don't ask me why all users start with W-U-, it's what I've
inherited. Google have somethng similar (which I pointed out to them) at
www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
Seems most people use an pre-selction approach. Rich, do you mean gzipping
the xml before sending it back to the page, and then unzipping it as part of
the return handler ? Thanks for the hints, Tom. Mark, yep, I s*it you not,
the exact number is OVER 100,000 !
