If I wanted to create a field on an RSVP webform for the user to type in their name, but only allow names that are in a given list/database how would I go about doing that without a dropdown list?
-
As a bonus having a small "Autofill dropdown" showing probable matches from the database ala facebook search would be crazy great.

Answer:
Hi, I am in the process of finalizing something similar to what you need. So far, the best thing that I have run across is this code: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm , it enables you to autofill both from local data(within the html file) and also via AJAX(MySQL,etc). You can also probably add some Javascript code which will disallow users to add extra characters after the selected autofill value. Hope this helps

You probably want to use the autocomplete feature. juqery UI comes with built in autocomplete widget: check this http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
