Hi all.

There are so many items in my combobox list.

It's always very hard time to search what I want to click.

Current my simple idea is to make words highlighted what is typed.

Is it possible or better ideas here? 


Thanks

That depends on what your “combobox list” is and how it relates to 
ECMAScript-based programming languages like JavaScript.  For some it also 
depends on whether you post using your real name, and whether you post via 
the borken Google Groups Web interface instead of with a newsreader.

this suggests a combobox may not be the best tool for your needs.

Probably the most common approach is to use an autocomplete textfield, e.g. type "ja" at:
