Hi,

I am trying to use the text\_field\_with\_auto\_complete but i need to  
extend it.  
So i want to have a scroll bar, so if the list becomes too long i have  
a vertical scroll bar.  
I tried giving my DIV some height but it is giving me horizontal  
scroll bar and not a vertical one.

Also i want auto complete but at the same time also have the ability  
to select multiple values from the auto complete list. So i think  
essentially this needs to be done by having a check box in the auto  
complete list.

Has anyone tried any of this.

Any help would be useful to me.
