Siebel Auto Complete Plugin :- Part 1

Hello All,

In Siebel Dropdown fields (LOV) we have option to enter some Letter and related Option are shown in Dropdown, as shown in below image.











But in Normal Text Fields we have to enter the complete information there is no option of auto-complete.
We can extend the Option for auto fill for normal text fields also by the below mentioned Method.

• We need to use a 3rd party Plugin that Offers Auto Complete option
• I am using file from TypeAhead, http://twitter.github.io/typeahead.js/
• Include the file in Our PR file 
• Call Method in PR file
• We can either retrieve the Option from Fixed set of value as in this example or From a file (.txt) or at run-time by querying Database (will take this in further articles)
