Character by Character search in input box.
Posted: Wed Feb 10, 2010 11:38 pm
I am trying to duplicate the input actions of the Thunderbird Address search box. Say you want to find the name 'Williamson'. When you type the 'W' into the box you will get a lookup table of all names beginning with 'W'. When you type the 'i' you will get a lookup table showing all names beginning with 'Wi'. When you type the 'l' you will get a lookup table showing all names beginning with 'Wil'. This goes on until you click on the name you want as shown in the lookup table.
Can anyone direct me to some code or whatever to explain how to do this.
I have limited experience programming (I don't know the advanced stuff ie: templates, OOP etc.) so I don't know if this is beyond me or not. I use Ubuntu 9.04 LAMP for my programming.
Thanks in advance,
Rick P.
