Ok I understood when the first mail was already sent :D I can test if browser support javascript, and if browser support the XMLHTTPRequest object.. But i dont know how to manage this field if the browser doesnt support this functionalities. 1) Dont display the field 2) A classic dropdown list with all elements 3) some ideas?

I think you could just display a normal text input. The idea is to avoid the javascript to make errors if the functions you use do not exist (especially the ones related to XMLHTTPRequest). BTW, do you think it would be worth the effort to have a look at the PEAR AJAX package and use it with this element ? This would be the first QF element that would make use of AJAX. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam About normal text, i dont know if its a good idea, due to fact that if you are using this feature, then you must have a correlate id.

if the browser do not support XMLHTTPRequest, I think to switch(adding some options) to an HTML_QuickForm_autocomplete, but it still use javascript. About AJAX, I think this is possible, but there will be some work to implement it. My fisrt objective is make this "add-on" working better than now, and after i think there will be a chance to get it work with AJAX :)
