Drop down list that autocompletes with database results

[tonyyeb]

Hi all

I'm after some example code of how to have a drop down list like what google have that autocompletes with results from a database. Doesn't have to be AJAX, the total possible results are about 250 records max which isn't a problem.

But as you type the search criteria I want it to narrow the list down.

Thanks in advance

That is basically ajax functionality although using JSON rather than XML is easier and less processor intensive...
