Turn SELECTs into Comboboxes with jQuery UI Autocomplete
This entry is about a script I've written using jQuery, that turns ordinary html select elements into comboboxes. You don't need to re-write any of your code, and users without JavaScript will still have fully functioning select boxes.
Thank you for this package! Is there anyway for the dropdown widget to refresh? In my code, the dropdown values are dependent on another value. If the value changes, the dropdown values should change (using ajax) as well but it does not seem to refresh in the dropdown. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

This script is really only designed to progressively enhance static SELECTs.
If the SELECT's options are dynamic, then you're probably better with one of the other examples here:

Hope this helps,
