I don't get text selection only completion with IE4 and 5 on windows 95. I frankly don't understand why the provided example should work unless it expects the range r1 to remain unchanged when the value of the textarea changes. That is, however, as I checked, not the case. Thus r1 and rNew are identical after the value is changed and the changing of the start to the end point empties the range. The following code change works:   function update(src,selObject) { if (src.createTextRange) { // Ignore cursor keys var sKeys="8;46;37;38;39;40;33;34;35;36;45;46" if (sKeys.indexOf(event.keyCode+";")>-1) return // Value has changed - do lookup if (src.value!=src._value) { var r1 = src.createTextRange() var oldValue = r1.text; var newValue = find(src.value, selObject) if (newValue!=src.value) { src.value=newValue var rNew = src.createTextRange()   rNew.moveStart('character', oldValue.length)   rNew.select() } } src._value=src.value } }

I have the same problem with Auto completing text boxes. Im using IE4.01, I have now installed the MS version5.0 script engine, to fix an Activex problem and the Auto completing text boxes no longer works, has textRange been changed in version5.0 Thanks

The string should be selected. What browser version are you using?
