    Default Auto complete text field

    Is there a way to dynamicly auto complete a text field. Like when someones
    starts to fill in the Last name field, as soon as there is only one match that
    matches what they type it finishes it. Like here are the employees: Bill, Bob,
    Sue.
    Once "Bi" is typed in it puts Bill in.

    You can do this with AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML), it is a tricky
    concept but can produce amazing results.

    They do the same thing at Google Suggest:-

    It really depends how much JavaScript and XML and XSLT you know.

    Thanks for the response and the link to the website. I am just a summer intern so I think that I will pass on trying to learn all those to figure it out. But thank you anyway.
