<!--
Note: if you have a very large select list,
you should deactivate the real-time filtering
on the INPUT field below - remove the onKeyUp attribute.
-->
Filter by regular expression:<br>
<input name="regexp" onkeyup="myfilter.set(this.value)">
<input onclick="myfilter.set(this.form.regexp.value)" value="Filter" type="button">
<input onclick="myfilter.reset();this.form.regexp.value=''" value="Clear" type="button">
<br>
<input name="toLowerCase" onclick="myfilter.set_ignore_case(!this.checked)" type="checkbox">
Case-sensitive
