jQuery - any nice way to easily grant selectbox autocomplete functionality

Question

I am maintaining some legacy code here. Most of the code consists of huge forms, when each form has got many selects. It's very cumbersome to fill the entire form, as you have so many possible values for each select, that finding the one you're looking for takes for ever.

I know that this is where auto complete usually steps in. Does anyone know of any simple way to convert my many select boxes into an auto complete widget using jQuery?

Thank you!

I know this post is old, but I came across it and after a little more research found that jQuery UI AutoComplete has a combobox demo.

Solution 2

Jquery UI is a great one also (and has other great features available)

If i understand, may be this helps
