    On a website I've got a drop down box but the amount of options in the drop down has got so big that it's not very practical. Is there an easy way to instead create a search box where you type in whatever and if it exactly matches one of the options that used to be in the drop down box then it takes you to a set page?

    If you keep asking for software development help we're going to have to invoice you. Isn't there some sort of course you could go on?

    Use a tree view control with heirachical headings. For example, the first level could be something like north, south, east, west, central etc, then the next level could be Indian, Italian, Chinese etc, then the next level could be expensive, reasonable, cheap etc, followed by brilliant, average, crap etc.

    And make sure you put Red Ginger, Latinos, Bistro Romano and Puccinis on it.
