dhtmlxCombo can be easily converted from existing HTML SELECT or populated with JavaScript. Thanks to Ajax support the component works fast and smoothly with large sets of data, loading a list of suggestions dynamically on demand. A working example which handles 100,000 records is available on the combobox homepage.

The component features type-ahead, keyboard support and ability to display images in the dropdown list. Working as an autocomplete tool, dhtmlxCombo requests content from the server as a user types in the input field, and provides a list of relevant values.

dhtmlxCombo can be used in four modes:-

• editable select box user can either select a value from the list or type a custom value;
  
• read-only select box user can select just one value from the list;
  
• filter all the data is loaded on the client-side and as the user begins to type, the list is narrowed to the appropriate values basing on the first typed symbols;
  
• autocomplete the list is loaded and shown as user types in input box, autocomplete text appears basing on first typed symbols.
