Hi everyone

Does anyone know of a jquery equivalent to the dojo autocomplete combo
box?

I'm writing a combobox for jquery. it is still in its infancy at version 0.1. I will hope to have autocomplete implemented in the future. you can have a look at it now at jquery.sanchezsalvador.com the site is still being built and I'll have the downloads sections completed soon.

Heinrich,

It's frustrating that people don't know a combobox from a select element (or autocomplete text element).
I was finally able to make something like what you're looking for. I used Dan Switzer's Autocomplete as a base, and then had it show all possible options if the text box was either empty or receiving initial focus.

I never use forums for this sort of thing. Let me see if I can upload it....

OK, I think it took.

Set up your options like you normally would with Autocomplete but ADD:

showAll: 1

as one of your options. This is extremely experimental. I just finished it a few hours ago. I've only tested it on FireFox and Safari on Mac.
