Yahoo! Ajax Toolkit: Autocomplete
Some time ago good folks at Yahoo! have put together a whole toolkit of UI components called “UI Library” and made it available to the developer’s community for free.
In this article we will take a look at one of the tools from this great collection – the AutoComplete component.
Since you are reading this it would be safe for me to assume that you know what AutoComplete is. That’s right, it’s the handy dropdown populated with automatic suggestions that appears when you start typing in a text field.
If you are a savvy developer (and even if you aren’t) you can go right ahead and download the toolkit, install it, read the documentation, look at the examples and finally set it up to work with your application.
Check also DMXzone's own Ajax AutoComplete Dreamweaver extension to get field auto completion right out of the box!
