DHTML for an input box having drop down entries like at Google Suggest

What I need is the DHTML for an input box that allows
javascript to add drop down entries.

....

I'd like to create my own version of google suggest GS.

If you haven't seen GS check it out at :
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en

I've reviewed several write-ups on the internet and
understand the issues around passing and fetching data
from the client to the server. Well, at least
as it's described in various tutorials.

I also can manipulate things fairly well using javascript.

Your help is deeply appreciated. Thanks.

The Prototype library includes such code, you just need a server side
implementation for your (server side) language of choice.

hi there, i would like a book that will explain concepts of javascript and dhtml instead of, for example, ten tutorials on how to do specific things in js or dhtml. ideally a book thats can explain from the basics of javascript, to more complex things such as dhtml and dom onto things like creating javascript objects (if that is possible, but u get the idea). rather than this is how you make a drop down menu tutorial; this is how you

Execuse me if I am using the wrong term but what I am intrested in using is a "drop menu" on a page that behaves like the Start menu in Windows. An example of what I am talking about is on the left side of this page: http://www.msnbc.com/news/ Can someone tell me: 1) What is the term for this kind of menu? 2) How to use this kind of menu with ASP.Net? 3) An simple example would be great.

How can I run a single SP by asking multiple sales question either by using the logical operator AND for all the questions; or using the logical operator OR for all the questions. So it's always either AND or OR but never mixed together. We can use Northwind database for my question, it is very similar to the structure of the problem on the database I am working on.

I need to select multiple entries in the drop down list. E.g. Search a string in languages like C#, VB, Java etc. These entries are in drop down. So i need to multi select to search in multiple languages 1. One of the option could be to have a check box beside each entry in drop down. Do any one have an idea how to do this. Solution in C# is required but even if its unmanaged code is OK.

I have a table that I am manipulating as a table, not as a form. Is it possible to have a drop down list in a table? I came across this: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.databases.ms-access/browse_thread/thread/509fbf44455ab35d/2e0bced904cccbfa?lnk=gst&q=Drop+down+list+table&rnum=4&hl=en#2e0bced904cccbfa The person answering the question seems to imply that a form should be used if a drop down list is needed. Am I correct in thinking...

I asked last week about passing a popup selection back to the main window. Now comes another challenge. The drop down list (or other organization?) has over 36000 entries (it's a list of colleges one might have attended). I don't think I want to hard code 36000 entries or if I do, I don't want users to have to scroll through 35000 to get down to Washington, for example. What would it take to make a "smart" drown down or scrollable list...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
