Good Javascript Combo Box replacement for combo boxes with tons of elements?

combobox, dhtml, html, javascript

Solution

You have dhtmlCombo, using ajax to retrieve data when you are filling the input field.

dhtmlxCombo is a cross-browser JavaScript combobox with autocomplete feature.

It extends basic selectbox functionality to meet the requirements of the most up-to-date web applications.

dhtmlxCombo can be converted from existing HTML SELECT or populated with JavaScript. Supporting AJAX, it can also get list values from the server datasource dynamically.

Problem

I have a page where my combo box has hundreds of elements which makes it very hard to pick the one item I want. Is there a good Javascript replacement that would do better than ``` <select id="field-component" name="field_component"> <option selected="selected">1</option><option>2</option>... </select> ``` Is there something with "Intellisense"-like auto-complete?
