Filter dropdown list based on user entry:

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I have the list of 50 states of U.S in the dropdown list.

Ex: alabama

      alaska

      arizona

      arkansas

      lousiana

When user types "a" into the dropdown, the dropdown should expand automatically and list only alabama,alaska, arizona.

When user types "al", the dropdown should get further refined to alabama & alaska.

What I see is when user types "al", the list jumps to lousiana and I do not want it.

I think i should struggle with javascript in writing on change event of dropdown. It would be great if any one have already got the solution for filtering the list based on what user types in every letter.

Thanks,

kc
