Hi,

I am in the process of converting a few ComboBoxes over to Autocompletes by using a WebService and setting the mode to "Remote". All works well and the Autocompletes are working as expected.

My question is can I get this to behave like a ComboBox where you can set the initial value on load of a form (server side). The Autocompletes are fetching data and use "Text" and "Value". eg. "Option1", "1", "Option2", "2". I would like to be able to set the value to say "1" and when the page renders the Autocomplete should say "Option1".

I can see why this doesnt work as its not going to make a webservice call on load, however I have noticed the autoload property and I wasn't sure what this was used for.

Can someone tell me if this is possible and if not what a workaround maybe?

Thanks
