HTML SELECT Tag Problem

[NSWC-JJE]

Normally if you type in the select field the first option starting with that character becomes your starting point. I need to extend this capability to allow users to continue typing in characters and have the options track the sequential characters. I need to emulate an editable drop-down datawindow as used in Sybase's PowerBuilder.

Use onKeyPress="doFunction()"

function doFunction(){
if(event.keyPress){
if(document.myForm.mySelect.options[documenty.myForm.mySelect.options].text.substring(0, 1)==event.keyPress) document.myForm.mySelect.options[document.myForm.mySelect.all["your_select"]].selected;
} }
}

That should start you up a little. ;)

Thanks Jona,

My first attempt didn't work, but I'll play with it.

Again, thanks
