Use jQuery UI autocomplete:

Autocomplete can be customized to work
with various data sources, by just
specifying the source option. A data
source can be:

• an Array with local data
• a String, specifying a URL
• a Callback

The local data can be a simple Array of Strings,
or it contains Objects for each item
in the array, with either a label or
value property or both. The label
property is displayed in the
suggestion menu. The value will be
inserted into the input element after
the user selected something from the
menu. If just one property is
specified, it will be used for both,
eg. if you provide only
value-properties, the value will also
be used as the label.
