Not sure I understand. What you are referring to is called a select. Here is a very simple one with your content:


<select>
<option>Philippines
<option>hungary
<option>italy
<option>ukraine
</select>

Now, what value do you want to test? The value of the words? A value that you might add? :


<select>
<option value="phil.htm">Philippines
<option>hungary
<option>italy
<option>ukraine
</select>

Or something else? Do you really mean test the value or do you mean retrieve the value? Let's get these basics settled first.

Good day sir...

my problem is regarding the users selection in the listbox.

because in the listbox the default in onkeypress is if you press P it will go in a value that start in P if H in H.... it is correct?

listbox

- philippines
- italy
- hungary

i want to do is if you press example(1st p then second h) so it will go to phillippines not in hungary.

I'm not aware of any method that can make the browser know that, in effect, you are not finished pushing keys yet. You could have an input field to submit the (full or partial) search string.
