I am trying to emulate a feature like you would see in a MS Access combo
box. What I would really like to do is make select a subset of records
based on what the user types in real-time. This would come in handy for
searching customer records if I wanted to make a CRM type program for
example.

So if I have 500 customers and I wanted to look for "Core Publishing", I
would start typing "Cor" and my drop list would be populated with:

Coal Mine Dist.
Coral Reef Divers
Core Publishing

Is this possible? If not, is there a better way? Code examples
appreciated. Thanks.
 
you can write this in javascript, but you have to careful if you care about
performance, as the whole customer list must be included on the page
download. a web serch will supply you with some examples. as this is very
non-standard browser behavior, I'd advise against it.
