Question

Google turns up a lot of crappy code in this area. I’m looking for a solid cross-browser autocomplete script with standard keyboard functionality: up, down, tab, enter, escape. The script must not utilize jquery (My widget could be used on sites already implementing jquery and I don’t want to handle double loading or version conflicts). The script must be able to accept updates to the autocomplete list. (I’m pulling results from my database on user update). Thanks! — skibulk

If your concerned about conflicting with existing jquery, then just include a check for jquery at the beginning of the code.

if (!jQuery) {
   ...load jquery...
}
