I needed some modifications to the autocomplete library that Dylan Verheul
released, and I wanted to share the modded library:

http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm

Here are some of the things I fixed/changed:

* Supports local data array (can now use w/out AJAX).
* Limit dropdown to XX number of results (good for limiting the results to
users)
* Autofill pre-populates text box as you type
* New findValue() method can be used to programmatically determine if the
value in the box is a valid option. (Useful for verifying the text entered
is an existing value option.)
* Dropdown options now correctly re-position themselves on each display
(which means they adjust for changing to the DOM)
* Dropdown box defaults to the width of the input field its attached to (you
can manually specify a larger width as well)
* Better emulates Windows autocomplete boxes (for example: hitting delete
and retyping the same box will now bring back the dropdown menu)
* Miscellaneous bug fixes
