Description
jQuery.combobox is a lightweight jQuery plugin which transforms a textbox into a combobox, so users can enter text or select from supplied options.
It could be called more than once on the same textbox, however only the first time calling counts -- which means you can't change the suggestions once the combobox is created.
It would work with jQuery.bgiframe plugin to fix the IE select/zIndex bug if you include it in the same page.
Tested in IE 7, Firefox 3.
Updates
