i'd like to be able to put a field (combo?) on a form that allows a user to input his/her state and the 2-letter state appears in the field. you and i have seen this a million time in browser forms. how do i do it with js? i see my problem as having at least the following two elements.

first problem: the combo field is not context sensitive. this means that when i enter "t" (for texas) nothing happens. i have to physically open the combo box and scroll down to texas.

second problem: so i scroll down to texas, now i've got to translate that to "TX".

i can solve the second part programmatically, but surely someone has already done this for me...yes?
