Hi,
I am trying to use a text box, to do a search on in a list box, without
clicking on a button.
the Idea is as you type in the text box the list box will show the
names that start with the letters.  is there any way to this.
thanks

I did a long time ago a JavaScript that transform an xml using xslt to create
such a textbox control.   You may take a look at its source code at this
link:  http://www.societopia.net/samples/textbox.htm

You need however to have MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 2 installed on your PC for
this demo to work. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3144b72b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&DisplayLang=en
