Assisted selection box

[NatuScape]

Hi all!!

I'm trying to figure out how to help my webpage's users select their email from a list instead of typing it; which will ensure they are using a valid address from our directory. I was thinking perhaps I coud use JavaScript to create a pop-up search box that will guide them through the list into the name they're looking for. I haven't found anything like this online, I'm not even sure how to search for it.

Can anyone help me figure out if I can do this and how to approach it?

Thanks a bunch!!!!

What are you pulling the names from? A database? If so, you will need some sort of server side language to do this....Or, perhaps I just don't understand what you need. ;)

Hi pyro!

Nope, no database, just a plain run-of-the-mill select group. The options will all be displayed in the selection box, I just want to see if I can help the users by, instead of typing the first letter and surfing their way around, typing a bunch of letters and sort of have the code search through the options and find the first one that meets that criteria.

Thanks for the reply and any further input will be more than welcome!!!
