I'm currently developing a simple Javascript/HTML timetable application for use on mobile phones. The application includes a search facility that I would like to add autocomplete to, but doing so from within the DOM results in a pretty messy experience on Android (and I guess also iPhone).

At least on Android, while the user is focused on the text input field, the native on-screen keyboard covers the area where I would be displaying my autocomplete options in a desktop-oriented application.

Having searched the Internet and came up dry, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to integrate with the phone's input manager on either Android or iPhone, in order to feed suggestions directly into the native UI.

It seems to be possible to do this from a native application, but I'm trying hard here to complete the entirety of the program as a web application.
