Does anyone know the best way to code auto complete drop downs in LiveCycle Form? For example if the user types N than a drop down will appear with states beginning with the letter N. This is doable on the web, but can this be done in LiveCycle to generate a form that the user fills out? Thanks in advance...

Do you mean they type "N" into a LiveCycle Designer drop-down and focus will go to the first value in the drop-down starting with "N"?

Well you woud type N and the focus would go to Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York etc. If you were to type New than you would just get a drop down of all that states that start with New (New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York..etc) instead of all the states that start with N. I know this can be done with Ajax on the web, but can it be done on an actual Live Cycle form?

So any ideas out there on how to do Auto Complete Drop Downs in LiveCycle Forms...something like you see on Google where you start typing in a word and you get to select the choices the drop down provides?

I am starting to think that this is not possible in LiveCycle Designer. On my server, I have an html, css and javascript files that performs on XMLhttpRequest to the server to make it all happen in Ajax. I tried adding the Ajax functionality to LiveCycle, but absoultely nothing happens. I have not seen any examples of this on LiveCycle designer, but I thought there had to be a way somehow and I guess the functionality is just not there yet.
