Type ahead in drop down list

[Anon]

I have a large (~3500 entries) in a drop down option list that is dynamically generated from MySQL table query.

I would like to allow the user to type a character causing the list to scroll to the optiion with that character. And as they continue to type another character the the list continues to scroll to match the set of typed characters.

Any one done that?

Thanks,
Ed

This has nothing to do with PHP; it's a client-side
question and you are at the mercy of whatever browser
the client is using and how it chooses to implement
list boxes.
