You are right, we disagree. You should look at script.aculo.us and YUI
autocompleters and what they offer. Both are real world enough.

I was just trying to point out that your excellent start for an
autocompleter was missing some functionality that should, in my very
humble opinion, be included if you want to position it as the standard
in the interface set. I offered you my insights, my code and my help,
and you apparently take offense. There's really no need for that.
