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


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?

    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.
