check out what I did for g-p: http://gentoo-portage.com/ The code I wrote is buried deep inside /js/main.js in the Ajax.XMLAutocompleter class. Note that this is *not* a generic class, it's in fact very very specific :) I may turn it into a more generic class at a later time, but the concept is shown. Mike wanted to be able to return an XML document and have that parsed on the client-side, so I overrode the onComplete method to parse/build the request content myself. Unfortunately, it expects the text of the content for the drop down rather than the DOM node to append, but, meh, innerHTML *does* perform faster on *every* browser than DOM manipulation, sadly ;) -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pirate-party.us/ -- defend your rights
