I'd would like in a form with an input control, that the first autocomplete value is visible in the textbox instead of a blank field.
Is it possible in javascript ?
Thanks a lot

Thank for you replly but ...
No no,
I'd like to put in the box the first value available with autocomplete.
You know, when you click on a box if your autocomplete is turned on, the browser propose you the stored values in a list.
Thanks
As I search for it I only found a solution in VB with sendkeys function.
But I'd prefer in Java, asp (don't think a server-side could do it), or html.

The "autocomplete" is an often very annoying and disruptive "feature" of a particular browser or browser plug-in (like the Google Toolbar). As far as I know, a standardized autocomplete was never made part of the JavaScript DOM, so you can't do what you're trying to do.
