PopUp instead of Select widget (newforms)

Hi,

I want to use a popUp instead of an select widget, since
there will be too many entries (>10.000). It would be
better
to use a PopUp with a search form. Has anyone done something
like
this?

I search some example code to learn from.

 Thomas

I am not using new forms... but I'm assuming you would make
this a
text field... with a link next to it that says something
like 'view
existing entries'

Then when a user clicks that, you could do one of the
following:

1. Display a ldiv with a list of all entries, and make it so
that when
the user scrolls through the list and clicks on one, it
closes the
div, and sets the text in the entry box ( if you need the ID
of what
is selected... you could do this in an invisible form field
).

2. Display a search box, then post a form submit back to the
same
page, with parameters set so that it comes back with
matching results
displayed, each as a link to hide the div and set form
variables as
described above.

3. Display a search box, and use AJAX to pull back the
matching
results, with a list displaying matching results, each as a
link to
hide the div and set form variables as described above.
