Hi everyone,
lately I've implemented an auto completion textfield at the bottom of a
form. I was a bit bothered by the fact that the user would potentially
need to scroll down in order to see all the options offered by the auto
completion. I couldn't find any information on how to auto scroll to the
auto completion list with bulit-in functionality so I modified
controls.js a tiny bit.
I'm posting the patch here in order to hear how I should have done it
without to touching the source or of course to get the patch
incorporated into future releases.
Greetings from Cologne, Germany,
Niels.
