Ajax Suggest Demo

Using AJAX, we can make use of live server-powered autocompleting text fields.
Applying a visual cue that an item is selected allows the user to take advantage of the keyboard navigation of the dropdown and adding background colors, borders, positioning, etc to the itmes.
If desired, it is possible to display additional information in the autocomplete dropdown that you don't want inserted into the field when you choose an item (such as a logo or address).

The example below is hooked into a database of 750 common nouns. Start typing to find singular nouns, and their plural form. For this demo, only 9 items are returned at a time.

(try "ca" or "bu")
