There is also this option for JQuery ...

Hi folks, I'm wondering if anybody has seen a particular kind of control I need.

It's called many things, but "editable Select box" seems to be a common term. One example that is close to what I want is here:

http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/form_widget_editable_select/ form_widget_editable_select.html

The trouble I'm running into is that none of the example out there seem to do quite what I want. If somebody has seen or used one that does the following, any links would be hugely appreciated:

1) Allows entry of a value not in the box (optionally turn this on or off) 2) While user is typing, the drop-down list scrolls to the best current match 3) Hitting "enter" or "tab" or whatever with a partial entry picks the best current match

Anybody seen this?
