Selacius Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Drop down menus don't work like that. When you type a new letter it doesn't add it to the previous, but replaces it. So what you see happening is exactly what should be happening. I am not sure if there is a way to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webworldx Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Unless you put a textbox above it, or hold the keydown of anything on the dropdown in a variable [getting complicated]. But yeah.. I believe Google's experimental search drop-down does what you want, but it isn't using the default box, it's a custom made script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
