Hi

I have written a new component that can be included in your form, and allows
the user to search a data source by entering the search term(s) and using
Ajax to return a list of results in a dropdown control, from which the user
can select the desired item. It uses the prototype JavaScript library, which
you need to get from their website. You can view a demo and download the
source at: http://jeremywebdeveloper.co.za/code/ajaxsearch/

Cool...I'd have the 'submit' button hidden until results were returned
so as to avoid user confusion.

Yes, something to add in a later version of the component.

they pretty much have that in the scriptacuous lib under Ajax.Autocompleter,
atm

http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptac....Autocompleter
http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter
http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/aut...ter_customized

plus they have a client side version as well to mitigate bandwidth
consumption for small data sets.
