automated listbox-scrolling

[Frank Schumacher]

Hello NG,

on a website of mine I have a listbox, which can under certain
circumstances contain a rather large number of items.

To make things easier for the user, I want to add a textbox, in which
the user can type the starting letters and the listbox scrolls
automaticly to the first fitting item.

Any ideas (and/or links) how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Frank

The below website is a JavaScript library, useful for what you are
trying to do. If you rather use asp.net, you could use asp.net ajax's
autocomplete functionality. See below links.
