typeahead

The typeahead property indicates that the input controls that are bound to a field will use JSF type-ahead. Input controls with type-ahead present a list of options based on the first few characters that the user types into the control. Then, the user can select one of these options or continue typing different text.

If you set typeahead to YES, you must also specify either the validValues or the validatorDataTable property, but not both.

For a more powerful way of specifying the options to be used with type-ahead, see typeaheadFunction. You cannot specify both typeahead and typeaheadFunction on the same field.

You can assign one of the following values to the property:
NO (the default)
JSF type-ahead is not used on input controls bound to the field.
YES
JSF type-ahead is used on input controls bound to the field.
