    Posted: 26 July 2005 at 8:58pm

Is there such a thing as a select field usable by browsers that you can enter multiple letter into and it will select the option closest to all of those letters together, not just the last letter?

eg:

if i have a dropbox that consists of the names timothy, ian and matthew, does a variant exist that will not select Ian if i type Ti (for timothy) or select matthew if i type Tim?

I know that such things exist in access and other non-web programs, but is there another tag, or an option for the select tag, whcih will allow me to emulate this?

sorry, i mean that it will not select based on the last letter, but the combination of them all, so ti would select timothy not ian, tim would select timothy not matthew... hope that makes a bit more sense...

You could only do that with some complex javascript, unless there is someone else here that can write that code...sorry
