cities field autocpmplete field

How can I add an autocomplete field for cites? I have a database with more than 70K cities.
The cities should be filtered by a select state field.

Thank You

You might want to model this similar to the country -> state jquery widget (chain selector). I suspect you'll need to make changes to the code base and the templates. Contact us on IRC if you need help/assistance

I'm using 2.3 civicrm and I looked in the 2.3 sandbox as well, and I could not find this country-> state widget in the UI. Which functionality has this widget please?

Thank You

New Individual form is one example (selecting Country then populates the corresponding state/province values).

Thank You. I have looked at that model, and I don;t think will work, due to the fact that a state can have hundreds of cities which cannot show up in select dropdown. Is ther another alternative like an autocomplete field?

Check the "New Relationship" form. The autocomplete widget for the Target Contact is filtered based on the contact type specified in the selected relationship type (so I think this is a similar pattern to selecting State and then having that value filter the available cities).
