[jQuery] Dylan Verheul's Autocomplete Mod...
Dylan,
You're correct. It also doesn't work very well if you're displaying the drop
down options in a drastically different way then the autocomplete box is
being filled in.
However, it's a nice feature if you've got a very straightforward match.
Also, on a somewhat related note, what I've been doing for "contain" type
matches is loading exact "start" matches at the top of the search results
and "contain" matches below that. Seems to work pretty well for looking up
customers out of the database.
