How to do a Combo box with Type Ahead

[Paul D. Fox]

Has anyone added a "Type Ahead" functionality to a Combo Box Web Control?

Yes, Andy Smith of MetaBuilders built a combo box with type ahead
functionality.
The control and the source code are free. Find them here:

Thanks Steve, this works out pretty well, however I'd like to modfiy it
somehow so that when the first letters are typed, the control "drops down"
to show the full list of items with the selected letters highlighted (which
its already doing). Is there a method that will "drop the box down" when
the first letters are typed?
