I had thought of something like this. A sort of autocomplete. But the problem is that people with lots of different native languages are going to be using this, and they might not always know the spelling of their country name in English. They'd only have to know the first letter, but in the case of Finland (Suomi) that would already create a problem.
I like the idea of giving, say, the twenty most likely countries upfront, and putting the rest in some sort of alphabetical system. Organising all the countries per continent/area is unfeasible, since i only have an alphabetical list. The client wants *all* countries in there, but I doubt very much that anyone outside Europe (or outside Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Spain and the UK) will ever place an order. So I'd prefer not to spend too much time picking central African countries from an alphabetical list ;-) On 11/18/05, eric dolecki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > how about keyboard press a letter, and matching country names fly in & you > select one to autocomplete > > the comboBox does allow you to press a letter to scroll down to 1st match > too I think. > -- Toon Van de Putte _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
