Funny. I had been thinking about what it would take to do something like that. I had seen this kind of auto-completion in the new PHP based Gallery 2.0 admin console for selecting file paths and in my project where there could be hundreds or thousands of objects that match a specific foreign key reference I was wondering how hard it would be to basically have a field that does some form of partial auto-completion. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
