OK-
I have a unique problem that perhaps someone can help me out with. What I have is a single input textbox that serves as a search field. The search engine searches AS you type, pulling up most likely result based upon what you've already entered in the field. That works fine, but here's what I'd like to do...
I want it to work just like the URL input field in IE. After, say, 5 characters or so I want to update the text in the textbox so that it completes the search term that matches thus far, but if they continue to keep typing, it should overwrite the characters that have been "guessed" by the search engine. Is there a way to do this?...set the textbox to overwrite characters rather than inserting within the present string???
HELP!!! THANKS!
