Simulating "Auto Complete" with Javascript

[Vern]

Hi All,
I'm looking for a script which monitors each keystroke in an input text
field and compares it to the contents of an array of strings and displays
the first matching element as the user types.

In other words, something which works very much like the Windows
"Autocomple te" feature.

Has someone invented this wheel? Thanks.

Matt Kruse has a nice example (among many others) here:
