I am trying to build something like an auto complete list to work with an input field. The input field I am using has a size smaller than the maxlength of the values it can hold. As the user types characters, I search against a list and display the first match value in the field. But what I want is that the untyped part of the matching string be selected. For eg: say the user is typing 'How' and the first match is 'How are you my friend'. I would like to show this value to the user but have ' are you my friend' selected. I am able to do this using text range. My problem is that the input field is only of size say 12. So it will not be able to show the entire text. When I populate and select the range as described above the data scrolls to the end and the begining of the entire string is not visible in the viewport. What I would like to achieve is this: Update the value of the input field to ''How are you my friend'' and select ' are you my friend' BUT have 'How are you ' showing in the input viewport and not scroll till the end.
Can anyone explain to me how I can achieve this. A sample code will help Thanks Madhu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
