dhtmlxCombo is a cross-browser JavaScript combobox with autocomplete feature. It extends basic selectbox functionality and provides the ability to display suggestions while a user types in the text field. dhtmlxCombo can be converted from existing HTML SELECT or populated with JavaScript. With Ajax data loading, it can get the list of values dynamically from the server datasource.

Combobox with icons:

dhtmlxCombo can be used in four modes:

• editable select box – a user can either select a value from the list or type a custom value;
• read-only select box – a user can select just one value from the associated list of choices;
• filter – the whole list is loaded on the client-side, and as a user begins to type, the list is updated with the appropriate values (which contain or begin from the characters typed);
• autocomplete – the list is loaded and shown as a user types in the input box.

Like other dhtmlx components, dhtmlxCombo provides complete JavaScript API to give developers enough possibilities to control the component state and behavior. To manage client-server data communication for the combo, we're offering dhtmlxConnector extension which simplifies server-side integration for dhtmlxCombo (PHP, .Net, Java).
