Trend: Auto-complete

Let’s face it… the majority of internet savvy users couldn’t spell their way out of a wet paper bag.  Computers may have made people lazy, but as UI designers and developers, our job is to make our user’s lives even easier… one input field at a time.  Enter Auto-Complete.

According to Yahoo, Auto-Complete: “allows faster user input by removing ambiguity about expected input data, avoiding potential mis-typed information as well as narrowing down the correct choices”.
