Recommendation for JQuery plugin for Tablepicker?

I'm looking for a recommendation for a JQuery plug-in that looks like and will behave like the JQuery datepicker, but allow me to pick a row from a table. A table pick list of sorts. I have to believe something like this is out there, but I can't seem to find anything like it. I'm not looking for an autocompleter -- more like when the JSP form field gets focus, a pick list appears that is populated by a table...

Any/all replies appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Ryley's comment is 100% correct. Using a plugin for this makes your life harder, not easier.

So my recommendation couldn't be any more simple: Use a select.

Not really helpful, in the same way a select would not be a good use for a date picker. The list has > 800 items in it. Also, the list contains part #'s that look very similar to each other. The users use other attributes to narrow their selection like Model Year and Manufacturer.

Are you wanting them to be doing the filtering by Model Year in the list itself, or will that type of filtering happen before the table picker appears?

The user would type the MY/Manufacturer to narrow the list then select it from the table. I was thinking of using the DataTables plugin (http://www.datatables.net/) for displaying the table, but need help with the UI part of popup in a jquery ui panel. Also, I'd like to package it so that I could reuse the same concept in other areas -- being able to bind the popup to an input field much like the datepicker is done...
