Hi!<br />
<br />
I'd like to be able to query a database, and while typing characters into a form field, have this field auto-filled with relevant data from the database.<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
When I start typing &quot;Jo&quot;, it should fill in &quot;John Doe&quot; or when I type &quot;Joe&quot;, it should fill in &quot;Joe Bloggs&quot;, etc.<br />
<br />
I believe this can be done using AJAX, but don't know a lot about it... Would be gratefull if someone could point me in the right direction...
