First, my apologies for clogging the 914club forum with this. However, there are enough programming geeks here to usually solve my problems.
Here is what I need help with. I have been having someone design a web-application for me. The web application is designed using Microsoft .net framework 1.1. It has a Microsoft SQL back end and requires Internet Explorer (due to some of the Active X controls) Part of my application involves choosing data from drop-down lists that contain hundreds of numerical codes. Does anyone know if tjere is a way to make the drop down lists "smart" using dot net and the web browser? Whereby you can begin typing the first few characters of the data you want from the drop down list and the drop down list automatically takes you to the code in the list that matches. I believe it's called "smart find" Microsoft Access does this with their drop down lists. Right now, I believe that .net and Internet Explorer are intelligent only for the first character. (i..e, it matches only the first character). If you know a .net website that I can demonstrate this, or know of the code to implement this, please let me know. I would be most grateful. Regards, Karl |

That would be a client-side function run at the browser end. Typically that would be done with Javascript, but since you are already limited to IE it could be done with VBScript. Here is an example:
