Sundar.k

Write a function on textbox keypress event and start comparing the text in
text box

with the dropdown
something like

var option =document.getelementbyId("dropdown1")getelementsbytagname("option")
for (var i=o;i<option .length;i++)
{
var value=do a substring of this value equal to textboxtextlength(
option(i).value)
if(textbox1.text==value)
{
option(i).selected="selected";
}

}
