Hi Steve,
Your name AJAX name picker is excellent. It is the only example for Domino I could find that I could copy to the server and it just worked. Love it! Performance is also better than I imagined.
I have a couple of requests and questions…
1) Allow selection using single click (instead of double click)
This was easy to achieve by just doing a search of "dblclick" & replacing it with "click"<br/>
2) I'd like the drop down list box (Popup) to disappear if I click outside the field.
This means that if I accidentally click into a field I can click anywhere else on the page and the drop down list box disappears.<br/>
I thought I could just put the "NP_closePopup()" on the onBlur event. Unfortunately it didn't allow me to use my keyboard anymore to select entries. Every time I use my keyboard arrow key, the popup closed. Any idea on what I can do?<br/>
3) This is a cosmetic and not so important request for the drop down list box. Can the popup be opaque and possibly animated in the way it opens & disappears. I'm going to try this using the YUI JS libraries & will let you know.
I've also got two question:
I notice if I type in "Steve" in the name picker I get the correct options. When I hit the space bar to make it "Steve ", some of the correct options disappear. When another letter is pressed the correct option is again displayed.
Is there a reason you didn't use YUI's autocomplete? Was it an issue with performance or flexibility?

Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Australia.
Kind Regards
