Alphabetical Index Problem

I have a long list of data arranged alphabetically,
and would like to reveal parts of it as a user
types in a string, rather like an MSHelp index.
No problems getting the input, but the best I've
got so far with the scroll is to have many, many
hyperlink anchors, one #a, one #ab, and so on.
That, of course, whacks up the file length,
which I'd like to avoid.
Has anyone any ideas how XSLT can be employed
to ease the situation? I've a feeling it
could be, but am lacking inspiration.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation,
Lee Goddard
