I have a text field. I want a user to type in data and if there's a match change it to that match and maybe wrap some CSS around it so the user can tell.

I'm sure you'll know what I mean as many sites use this sort of feature.

My questions are:

1. How can you do this CSS?
2. On the POST how does PHP get the tag name or ID?
3. How do you look up the tags and then match them?

Do they? What's the feature called, then? I'm not following exactly what it is you want to do ... is it a form-field 'autocomplete'? Or are you talking about search results with text highlighting?

Something else?
