Dropdown quick search

I'm looking for a drop down combo box that I can use on a web page.

It needs to look like a regular combo box.

In other words as the user types characters the combo box auto selects the
next item.

The default combo box only works for the first letter.

Any ideas?

Michael, one option is to use a custom control like EasyListBox
[http://easylistbox.com]. The UI is not precisely like a ComboBox, but
close, see this demo:

There's also some other features that make it better than the standard
drop-down list. See all the demos at:

Happy Programming!
