Form to auto complete

tonyyeb · 18 Dec 2007 at 17:31

Hi all

I have a simple HTML form and want it to start to suggest a word as the user types. Like when you previously filled in your e-mail address on a form or login box but i want to populate the suggestions.

Would this be a java script thing? Anyone got any links of example code?

Thanks in advance!

This is something that is already provided with IE and other browsers.

But my point was that I wanted to code the suggestions not rely on the user already have typed it.

For example the user may be entering the name of a city and as they started typing B it would suggest Birmingham, Brighton, Burnley etc.... rather than the user type the whole thing in.
