I have an autcomplete of my site.
When you start typing the entire box shows.
Is there an option we can add, that only the options that have to do with the letters i typed should show up?

I was wondering if it's at all possible to style the autocomplete box that appears from input fields.
( I know This question is the same but that doesnt have a answer and since its a few months old i figured i made a new post about it)
That image is of my login screen with the autocomplete box being all square and bulky compared to my input field. If it's not possible to style the box i'll simply turn autocomplette off but if it's at all possible i would be very interested.

Yeah you can't do that since it's browser based. Here's a great example in jQuery that uses autocomplete. I use it all the time for sites - super slick.

You can't modify the browsers' native functionality. Your best option is to find a plugin that overrides the autocomplete drop-down functionality and modify the code and style to your liking. Please take a look at jQuery's autocomplete plugin. http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#custom-data

How to style the browser's autocomplete dropdown box?

Defaultly, when you input something to text field, you get suggestions with values you entered before. So my question is, is it possible to use CSS to modify appereance of that suggestion dropdown. Or could you please suggest javascript code to recreate its bahavior?
No, it is browser's native implementation. the browser doesn't even add or modify any new DOM element therefore you can not style the dropdown list. I am not 100% sure but it looks like the drop down list is on a different layer on top of the display page. You will need to have a your own Javascript implementation of autocomplete.
By the way to disable this browser behavior, add this to the input element:
autocomplete="off"
Note that not all browser support autocomplete attribute
You can't fiddle with the native browser's autocomplete box, but you can with custom implementations. I'd wager the most popular is this one: http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/
I should note that the custom implementation won't serve up values the user has entered before unless you are capturing each term the user is entering, and use that list to populate your autocomplete box.
I am looking for a jQuery plugin that behaves like the Google+ autocomplete + dropdown. In G+, I can enter a person's name and it'll look in my circles and show me a list of matches, or I can click the dropdown arrow at the end of the input box to get a list of all possible names that I can select from. I was able to find plugins that do the autocomplete, but nothing that mixes that with a dropdown functionality to show you all possible names. Any ideas?
You can also try the chosen component.

It's a very nice piece of UI
Try jQueryUI Autocomplete: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
I have a page where you can choose from one of 350 people.
There is limited space to make this selection so there is a select menu with 350 options in it, each with a person's name.
When the page is submitted, the id (selected ption value=X) is submitted and recorded.
It works functionally but it's not ideal having to scroll such a long list.
Does anyone know of a jQuery plugin, or similar I can use, perhaps some sort of autocomplete type thing which would do the job in a more user-friendly and sexy way? :)
you can try jquery autocomplete combobox.
see demo here. http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#combobox
jQuery UI has a built-in plugin called Autocomplete, which sounds like precisely what you're looking for: http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
I have a list of countries in a database. To allow users to select their country, I would like to implement a form that supports auto-complete / autofill AND "normal dropdown behavior" within one control. By auto-complete / autofill I mean that the user starts typing their country name and then a list of suggestions appears automatically based on what they entered for them to quickly select from - just like how the tags input box on this page works.
Examples can be seen on http://www.momondo.com/ and http://badoo.com/ but I think their script is custom.
Is there an opensource .js plugin for this that's cross-browser friendly?
Thanks.
JQueryUI Autocomplete plugin is what you need http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
You can find a lot of demos and documentation in the previous link. I hope it helps you!
