After Koen (a coworker) pointed out that my online ComboBox demo was rather user-unfriendly (like how you just had to "know" to type an 'a' in the fields), I threw some instructions around it. It's available at /web/widgets/, as before. There's also a new distro at /web/widgets/widgets-b2231.zip, and the project page has been updated as well.  The actual code is unchanged, only the demo file has been updated.

    For DHTML combo boxes, or anything DHTML/AJAX related, I recommend looking at Ext (http://extjs.com/). Ext provides a unified API atop either Prototype/Scriptaculous, YUI or jQuery. The combo box demo is here http://www.extjs.com/deploy/ext/examples/form/combos.html

    The API is well organized and documented. The site provides numerous examples and an active forum. I'm not necessarily a true believer; but, what's there I have found more accessible than any other OSS solution I've come across.

    Thanks Matthew; looks slick. Wasn't around in 2005 when I needed one though. ;)
