Autocomplete combined select and text field

[Wbmstr84]

Does anyone know an example or how to make a select box where a user can either type and it will autocomplete with a list similar to input autocompletes OR they can simply select from the select options.

EXAMPLE

Select box of states. The select is originally blank allowing a user to start typing say A and then all the 'A' states appear in the drop down etc as he/she keeps typing. I would also like the user to be able to simply click the down arrow and select a state if they don't know which ones are available.

hopefully that makes sense. Thanks

You can see a working example at http://www.comparior.com/.

Not quite... Im looking for an autocomplete that the user could ALSO simply select the city like a normal select box would work.

So it
1) can autocomplete
2) select a value

Looking for something like this but doesnt require ASP.

Still havent found anything so i guess ill try writing one myself.

Can someone point me in the direction of putting an image in the input field that is clickable (ie a down arrow aligned to the right)?

For those who are looking for something similar:

However it doesnt have an autocomplete. Does anyone here know how I can make it into an autocomplete similar to this but show it with the same style as the first script? Thanks.

From what I see on the page you linked to there is a download source link. Have you tried it?

Ohh yeah I currently use that script. But im looking if anyone knows how to kind of combine them or know of one. That they can select an option like the first link or have it autocomplete like the second.

I'm searhing for the same thing. Basically, js that mimics the browser's url field (Firefox and IE both simultaneously offer the dropdown arrow and autocomplete). The code project demo is also the best example I found, but falls short. If you've implemented a solution, or made progress on one, I'd love to see it.
