hi  Jörn,
I see that your great plugin, autocomplete, can also behave like a combobox (a subset of...), in the sense that the result must match one of the possible values (practically, identical to a <select><options> html tags), correct me if I'm wrong.

So, It would be veeeeery interesting to have, not only input and textarea, but selects, as well, autocompleteable, and in this last option, to have default behaviour of a combobox (must match, contains, local (obviously), etc...). All to be more "accessible": if no autocomplete/combobox plugin, you find your normal SELECT. And also, without the need of a special format for the data (the data is the proper <option> tags).

is this in your plans for a next release? does this make any sense to you? perhaps a "converter" from select/option to input/your data format in order to use the autocomplete? (this last case is very expensive if you have thousands of options...)

thanx a lot,
