Dan, this looks great. I like the Ajax/array flexibility. Do you have some sample backend code that populates the ajax listbox? (e.g. your autocomplete.cfm)
Also, how do you match content in the middle of a string? (typing 'rica' will bring up 'Africa') I haven't had much luck with matchSubset or matchContains... Thanks, _______ SEAN O Dan G.
