I did something like this but not stock. I used a list and a soundex to fill it. Ok when small amounts of data Allen
-----Original Message----- I'm just doing some experimenting with search options when a user types something into a text box. If we were looking at stock items say I would want to search for items that matched the stock code (or part code input) or if they input several words match these to the stock description. Pulling out the data is no problem but just want to see what other people do to present it to the user. E.g. - After they enter data and press enter - show a dialog box that displays the matches with OK/Cancel buttons - Have a search form that has a search field with a list of results below and optionally update with each keystroke. - After they enter data and press enter - show a popup just below with the first few matches that scrolls (a bit like intellisense) - Other ideas? What do you use and why? _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
