Hi everyone,
I'd like to know whether it's possible to implement autocompletion on a search form which is querying a LDAP directory.
I'm creating a small widget that allows users to look for people in the LDAP directory and then display information such as phone number etc.
There's a lot of people in the directory, so it would be nice to help users by auto-completing the form according to what they wrote so far.
It's actually pretty much what jQuery UI does with Autocomplete
Do I have to request directly the LDAP directory every time the user hits a key? Or maybe should I cache (locally or on the server)?
Thanks for your help
