Good day,

Im new to JavaScript and would like also to learn Ajax by having experiments and to apply directly to an application(Hope this could also be effective)

Now, i will attempt to conduct an experiment about the interaction on Yahoo's search field.....(Auto suggest)

This will use Ajax in real, but i wan't that first to implement using JavaScript alone.... (Given set of constants, not on database)

And, i don't have an idea where to start......

Can you recommend me experts on what should i read(topic) that helps me on building an autosuggest using javascript?

I don't know the term used on that list(type) suggested when typed.....
And i believe that that implementation can also be made using JavaScript....

Any URL?

I know this is a shortcut....(ideally, i must read the basics), but this is an urgent....... Hope you guys understand.....

Any reply will be appreciated...... :)

Needs help,

If you're very new to JavaScript, then it would be a good idea to go over a quick tutorial first before developing something. Try some of the links in the Offsite Links thread.

As for this particular application, searching for "javascript autosuggest" should give you some useful links to get you started. If you get stuck, post back with your code. Good luck!
