Hello,
I was wondering if the following scenario can be done using plain
Javascript or AJAX. We have an input text box within a form. As soon
as the user starts typing in character into that text box possible
options dynamically appear below that text box so that the user can
simply select an option rather than typing the rest of the data. For
example, in gmail as soon as you start typing in characters into the
To: field (or CC: field or BCC: field) email addresses that start with
the user typed characters dynamically appear. Then the user can
simply select the best match rather than typing in the entire email
address.
I know that this can be done using AJAX and some fancy CSS, but I was
wondering if this can be done without AJAX, i.e. with just plain
Javascript and CSS? If this can only be done with AJAX, what would it
take to throw up AJAX on Tomcat/iPlanet web servers?
Thanks,
