CodeCharge StudioThe Autofill feature retrieves a matching record from an AJAX service and populates selected fields within the current form.
The current control value will be passed to the AJAX service as an URL parameter named "keyword". An AJAX service can then use this parameter to retrieve the matching record.
The Autofill feature is implemented via the Prototype AJAX library and shown as PTAutofil.
