Auto-Populate Selection List on Search
Posted: Fri Aug 31, 2012 4:41 pm
The Problem:
I have a long list of clients. I need to attach a main contact to each project (in a longer list of projects).
The Idea:
I need a scrolling select field that, at first, displays the most recent clients added (say 5). But when you start typing in the search box, it populates as you type with possible matches. You click on the person you want, click [Attach], and you're done.
Search Clients: [__start_typing_client_name_here__]
Select Client:
[______]
[______]
[______]
[______]
[Attach]
I'm thinking this is probably pretty easy; I'm just terrible when it comes to anything client-side. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Bonus Thought:
If I could figure out how to have the list auto-populate with more entries as you scrolled down through them, that would be awesome—particularly while it's still displaying the most recent clients.
Thanks!
