I have a form containing a couple of drop down lists with a very large number of items (over 1000). I am looking for a way to employ "find as you type" (aka, auto-complete or type-ahead) functionality into these drop downs to make them more usable. I have seen that I can allow custom text entry, drop the list manually and then type this way, but I need to restrict entry to what is in the list because I actually export a coded value from the field. So, I would like to get this functionality without allowing custom text entry. Is there JaveScript that can accomplish this?
I know that entering the first letter will iterate through the list, but with more than 1000 items, it is still a very inefficient process.
Thanks very much for any assistance.
