Now this seems to work
The listbox displaying the items is overlapped to the textfield, at least in
Firefox.
On the other side, this seems to be an integration of the tutorial that
appeared on netbeans site some time ago...doing an autocomplete field with a
textfield+listbox is not very appealing and good looking.
I was sincerely hoping that something more elaborated was made available as
a component.
thanks for you help
