I've got a dynamically created drop down menu that potentially can be quite long. If you tab into the drop down and then key in the first character that you're looking for, the menu jumps to that part of the list. What I'm wondering is if anyone has been able to continue keying in characters to jump further in the list. Someone suggested that it could be down with javascript, but unfortunately that's not something I know.

Here's an example:
If I know I want to select 33332, can I get to it in the drop down menu by just keying in all of the numbers.


drop down list includes-
112233
122233
221133
222233
223333
331122
332233
333322
441111
442233

Hope my question isn't too confusing. Thanks for your consideration and suggestions!

The only possible way that i can think of is using Javascript.

I found some javascript online that works pretty well incase anyone else is interested....

I know this topic is a few days old now, but mine does this by default...no special JS needed.

Maybe this is a browser thing? I'm running IE.
