All,

I would like to hear suggestion on a simple choice. I recently
ditched dojo in favor of jquery after Brad's brainwashing sessions.
But I now need an editable combo box using jquery. I'm trolling
through plenty of pages and options, but thought I'd throw the
question to this group.

Here are my rules:

-Needs to be lightweight, I'm creating a wave gadget and (if you've
seen wave) there enough stuff already loading, my gadget needs to be
as small as possible (hence the reason for firing dojo).

-Should be as close to native looking as possible, I don't need a lot
of style and complex options


Let me know what you think,

John

I've used the jquery autocomplete plugin at
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/

I'm not sure if it meets your goals from a native look and feel
perspective, but it's pretty lightweight (4K packed), and I've had
good luck with it.

I've used this a few times as well. It's pretty nice. I think the only
weirdness is that if you populate it with an ajax call, it expects the
data to be in some weird, non-standard format. But it's a 2 second
patch to make it use json.
