mouse out of the textbox, on idea how can I do this? ontyping event???

OnKeyPress

OnKeyPress

A little more complex than that Riki

Have a look at
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=google+suggest+slashdot&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

which will give you some links to some of the work done on dissecting
how it works.

The explanation, by the guy who dissected it, Chris Justus, is at:
http://serversideguy.blogspot.com/2004/12/google-suggest-dissected.html

It's quite a bit more complex than just OnKeyPress... ;-)

On the chipper side of things, Chris provides everything
you need to implement the same type of functionality in
your applications.

It's an AJAX .Net wrapper that's still in early development but works very
well. I've started to put together some formal documentation for Michael
and will hopefully expand that...keep an eye out...it'll change how people
do ASP.Net development
