ajax dropdown with clientside filtering capability

Question

Can any one provide me an idea about any ajax control which has following capabilities:

1. User should able to type to get auto-suggestions

2. Dropdown should only display the values starting with the keyed-in characters.

3. Most importantly there should be only one postback to fetch all the data to client side on the first key-in and then should filter the list values based on rest of the keys.

Any ideas in this regard greatly appreciated..

Check out this demo of the Autocomplete control in the jQuery UI library: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/ The demo demonstrates all the features you need and provides source for it all.
