Autocomplete textfield help

[MoShAn480]

Hi,

I am trying to build an autocomplete textfield. Can someone point me in the right direction? I would prefer to use a textfield and not a ComboBox for this.

Thanks

If you are not going to use combo, how do you offer (show) the user some alternatives for text completion?

Well i guess i could use a combo. It will not have any pre populated data though, so i would not want the arrow to be rendered. It will be a text field where after 3 characters are entered, then i will query the server for the data.

This sounds good. There was some example for this (Live Search). It's still there but not functional anymore. However, you can look at the source.

Cool thanks, I will see if i can locate this.
