Editable combobox
Hi all!
We are developing an intranet application for an institution and we have
developed some components. Most of them are not reutilizable outside our
application (because them are targeted to the app business logic or have
to wait to some refactoring to be separable from the rest.) So far we
have only contributed one component to Tassel.
Now we would like to have new component. We can develop it, but perhaps
they already exist or there is some javascript code to start with.
The component would be a writeable combo. Our users like typing codes
(because most of the time they know them) but it's good to have a combo
to choose among the possible values for ocasional users. The problem
with HTML is that it lacks the possibility of typing into the combo (yes
browsers position the value and that, but it's not really usable).
We would like to have a text entry with a button with a down arrow. You
could type text inside (autcompletion would be a bonus, of course, but
not required) and, if you don't remember the value be able to press the
button and get a list of values (ideally in two columns: code,
description). An editable combobox, that is.
Has anybody done something similar? Does anybody think this would be a
bad solution? I suppose that those of you who are doing web based
business apps have this kind of problem. Usability of webapps sucks, but
with things like this we could improve a bit the situation.
If we find something to begin with we could meet our deadline. We would
contribute back this component, of course.
Thanks in advance.

In Firefox I only get a regular text box without the combo behaviour.
Both in Windows and Linux. In IE I can type and open the list of
options.

I just tried it and it works great. Perhaps you should be more

Well, I tried it (that page contains a demo of the component) in IE and

Doesn't sound likely to me. In fact I really really doubt it seeing as

Thanks a lot, but it doesn't seem to work in Firefox or any browser

These guys have a component that appears to do just what you are asking. It is
in ColdFusion though, so you would have to rebuild it for Tapestry, but it
should give you some ideas nonetheless.

I would look at the dojotoolkit link Norbert sent you regardless of
tacos, it has lots of functionality in it already. (The autocomplete
from tacos uses script.aculo.us for autocomplete, not dojo)

If browser compatibility of IE >= 6.0 is not an issue, you can use
scriptaculous's autocomplete (which is the one used by tacos).
