30 Auto Completion Scripts for Better User Experience
Ahmad Hania
When developing web applications and you need to allow users of your application to choose some data like countries, currencies or even tags from a drop down, list or even from a text box, and the data is very large. You need to use an auto completion or suggestion script to make this task easier for the end user. You can always implement your own script if you have the knowledge and the time to do this, but if you can’t then you can use a ready to use script.

Posted 500 days ago 2Hey, funny to see this pop up as I was just researching them. I use jQuery, but I want to have a generic select element, and use the options as the data. I think that way is better than using a text box. Any idea on how to adapt one to do that?
