Auto-completion field according to data already stored on the database ? was created by limes4LN
Hi,
Here is another question : I have a text field called "Your teacher name?". Users can write what they want and sometimes, data collected are disordered. For example, the teacher name is "Alfred Bonder". Some users will write :
- Alfred Bonder (good)
- A. bonder
- Bonder Alfred
- Alfredd bonderr
...
Is there a way to add a king of "AJAX search" in a field? When the user start to type "Alf" or "Bon", the script looks up is the database and suggest just below the text filed "Alfred Bonder" is someone already wrote it that way. If no one wrote it, no suggestion appears. It will help me to have only one spelling in the database, it's easier to correct afterwards.
Thanks

OK, i've understood what "source" means = click on the toolbar (also with bold, underline, etc.) button called "source" where you write the question introduction text
