In my application we have several drop down lists which contain a few hundred items. These lists are completely unmanageable by the customers so we decided to implement a searchable dropdown list using the scriptaculous Autocompleter. The only problem is this type of field allows the user to type in anything they want. What I wanted was a searchable list which does not allow the user to have anything in the box which is not a valid choice.
For those of you who have used MS Access basically I want a dropdown like that which lets you type in your choice but prevents typing a character which would lead to zero valid choices. I hacked this together on my own using scriptaculous, but I was hoping someone had already done this better than me?
