Any way to Ajaxify the field selections?

In trying to convert programs that are already online into AppGini projects I am facing an obstacle in the few choices available in AppGini for showing the options selection for a field in a form.

I have users that infinitely prefer an Ajax suggest search when they are filling in fields in a form.

They do not like using a dropdown selector when there are a lot of records to choose from as options. The list drops below the window immediately in many cases.

Beginning to type and seeing a popup list get shorter and shorter with each new character typed into the field is the strong preference. Even though they know that they can get a similar effect in the dropdown selector options view they refuse to use it since I introduced them a couple of years ago to the "Google search" effect.

Is there a plugin that can help add JQuery to the selection of options so that I can get a more sophisticated 2015 form utility?

Is there a plugins or modules market for AppGini like so many other web and media programs?


Thank you for any relevant responses.

I finally found this in the forums which seems to be a direction! Yaay.
a number of people gave useful tips and working examples.

In particular Shasta, the Master, came along with some real advanced help on adding some Ajax to fields.
I am wondering,Shasta, if you have updated this, which you refer to as "not perfect" since last year?
Do you still recommend this for current browsers?

Thank you sir, and to any and all.
