type ahead in dropdown list
-
Is there a way to capture type ahead in a dropdownlist (ASP.NET/VB.NET application) - i.e if a user types more than one character quickly I want to select an item in the list that starts with the characters typed, not jump to the item that starts with the last character typed. For example if the dropdown list has 3 items MINNESOTA, MISSISSIPPI, MAINE, MARYLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, typing "MAS" quickly should take me to item MASSACHUSETTS
