Autoselect dropdown box

[torres]

I'm trying to find a dropdown or textbox solution that auto-highlights the nearest match in the dropdown list as the user types.

Basically like the Dropdown box you see in MS applications.

I've seen one that was Ajax based, but too slow with all it's server queries. I'm trying to find one that is handled at the client side.

Thank you!

Found this promising solution here:

If you press "J" it brings up "January". If you press "JU" it brings up "July", etc.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fill the list using .Net.
The author is using a variable in the Javascript to store the list of months.
