I am trying to do this but keep on failing.
I have a text box.
I have also an array of cities, and i want, while typing to display the cities that the user should be able to select.
Like if the user is typing : Mu the drop down should display Mumbai \n MuMu ... etc
Like the Tags below is doing !
Does someone have any ideas in how this can be accomplished ?
There are quite a lot different JQuery plugins for this purpose:

How to make searchable dropdown in html using any library or simple javascript like this? Because this searchable dropdown is very elegant.
you can use jqueryui combobox auto complete plugin as well, the link below gives the functionality and below fiddle also gives a working code
You can try Chosen. This plugin contains the element which you want. It is simply jQuery plugin with advanced options.
Thanks.
My bet is Select2 which can be customised to the extent you want and is easy to learn and use... It also has support for call back function like integrating user input if not present in dropdown.
Are there any bootstrap or jQuery tools that give me suggestions when I type something in a textarea? like autocomplete but I don't want to replace the whole text when I click on the suggestion. I want something like SQL editor when I start typing a table name, tables name starting with that particular letter should suggestest me. When I click on a suggestion, particular suggestion should append with the existing sentences.

Pretty much my go to autocomplete library i use in the frontend. It has no dependencies, which is awesome.
If you're more into jQuery, here's one from jQuery UI
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!
