Drop down List Filter with ASPX , AJAX controls,or JQuery?

Question

I am looking for a filtering mechanism, as the user types in the drop down box I want to filter the list to the list items that match what the user is typing. Is there any premade control for this or does anyone know the best way to achieve this feature? Thanks

Hello,

The Ajax Control Toolkit has an auto complete extender (http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/act_AutoComplete.ashx).

JQuery has an auto complete feature in the UI core (http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/).

Others built into third party tools.

HTH.
