Searching and display a result.

I have a page that list all of my employees in aphabeticcal order.
I would like to create a box where I could type a persons lastname and it would bring that record to the top or would hightlight the record.
Any ideas?
Thanks

How do you get the list? Is it a text file? Or is it from a database query?

Is from a MySQL database the query display all the records on a page.
You could have a query that will bring only the employe you are looking for.

Great you asked for it so here it is:

<?php
session_start();
require('../dbc.php');
require('../tables.php');

$display = 10;

if (isset($_GET['p']) && is_numeric($_GET['p'])) {

$pages = $_GET['p'];

} else {

$Query = "SELECT COUNT(EID) FROM $Table2";

$Result = mysql_query($Query);

$Row = mysql_fetch_array($Result);

$records = $Row[0];

if ($records > $display) {

$pages = ceil($records/$display);

} else { $Pages = 1;

}

} // End of p IF

// Determine where in the database to start returning results...
if (isset($_GET['s']) && is_numeric($_GET['s'])) {
$start = $_GET['s'];
} else {
$start = 0;
}

// Determine where in the database to start returning results...
if (isset($_GET['s']) && is_numeric($_GET['s'])) {
      $start = $_GET['s'];
} else {
      $start = 0;
}

// Determine the sort...
// Default is by registration date.
$sort = (isset($_GET['sort'])) ? $_GET['sort'] : 'rd';

// Determine the sorting order:
switch ($sort) {
      case 'ln':
            $order_by = 'LastName ASC';
            break;
      case 'fn':
            $order_by = 'FirstName ASC';
            break;
      case 'rd':
            $order_by = 'EID ASC';
            break;
      default:
            $order_by = 'EID ASC';
            $sort = 'rd';
            break;
}

$Query = "SELECT *
FROM $Table1, $Table2
