I've been using my new code a couple of days now, and it actually seems to be workable. I'm not sure how well it scales, though -- and I have to implement item expiry to make sure the list doesn't grow indefinitely. > The "fill in the rest of your input without being asked" behavior of > firefox sucks.

I'm only aiming for the completion that Firefox does in the URL input area. Auto-complete like what Firefox does in password boxes and the like isn't part of this... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
