[Javascript] ComboBox

[Chris Tifer]

There are no comboboxes in HTML actually unless you want to do
some fancy programming or use an Active X component of some
sort.

But on a SELECT list, if you press a key and that is the first character for
any of the OPTIONS, it will cycle through those that match.

Take the following list for example:

at
bat
cat
that



You can't press, say for instance, a "t" and have the word
"at" come up first.  "that" will be the only one it will go to.

If you want to have some textbox though and on the onKeyPress
event have it perform a search on the possible options by looping
through each OPTION in the collection for that object.
