I have a list box where i store names and like to type the first few characters of someone' s last name to have that name appear.
so say i'm looking for smith
in IE when i type 2 characters it jumps to the spot in the list where the names start with the first character s and when i type the m it jumps to the M's. - not useful
in Opera it works as I want it to - it ends up in the 'smith's' section of the list or the first name that begins 'sm'
anyone know how to make IE react the same way - is there a setting in IE?
thanks,
kd

kd,
IE drop downs only work that way, if you want a combo solution see the Tips and Solution section.
I personally only test in IE and Firefox as it gets too hard, especially with the plethora of Unix browers. If my users have a problem with it then it's "talk the hand" time.

P.S. we may see some new improvements in IE with version 7 in beta but I wouldn't bet on it.
