Answer 1

You can simply compare strings (inputed with avaliable). Or use combo box for extended control of inputed values.

Answer 2

hi,

i couldn't get you properly.

if you gave suggest Mode.i will explain using Dropdown if user start entering value in drop down automatically the suggested value populate.if he is entering continuously that new value added to that drop down.

Now let's consider about Text box when ever you enter text box value you need to save a local file or otherwise then only you can able to support suggest mode.with out having source for that text box how you can know what are the values present that text box.

Explain briefly please

thanks,
