Autocomplete in the text boxes
Is there a simple way to add an autocomplete feature to the text entry boxes? It would be VERY convenient to have options coming up as you type in the form text fields. What I have found is that there are some autocomplete functions depending on the browser you use, but it only pulls up the recently used text (chrome). When I move over to safari there is nothing. I would like it to be native to the web page, pulling from the database, independent of the browser. Is there a simple tweak to the php that will allow me to do this?

Thanks,

Karl

RE: Autocomplete in the text boxes
Hi, Karl,

In my opinion, there is no simple way to do this. You have to use ajax+php to pull data from database. But currently all mainstream browser support autocomplete (it only pulls up used text). Safari has same features too.

You can check here for more details: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_input_...mplete.asp
