Hi Colin,
Really appreciate your input.
Sorry, I should've been more crisper with my requirement. Let me try to do
that:
When the user types in 'a', I still like the display of the drop down list
with contact name and email address one below the other. When I select a
contact from the list, I still need the contact name Ada Noel to be
displayed in the text field to the user. At the same time, I also need the
email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be set in a hidden text field inside
the same form.
Hope I got it clear this time around.
Thanks
Sridhar
