GUI Issue - Selecting an item in a dropdownlist control via more than 1 letter

Hi there,
Is there any way to implement a dropdownlist in which an item can be
selected via the first few starting letters in its displayed value.

For example a dd list has:

England
Egypt
Jamaica
USA

If I press the 'e' key, then England is selected immediately.
If I then press 'g' key then Egypt becomes the selected value.

Is this easily achievable via the server controls, Javascript or another
means?

Regards,
HDB.
