auto complete; so darn easy!

Yahoo and google offer javascript libraries. One of the more useful features to the library from yahoo is there auto complete script. Auto complete is really a simple task (example), I was surprised when I found the code. However the one from yahoo is rather full-featured.

Google's kitchen sink script is there UI used on any of there menu systems such as gmail, docs, and reader. They also have an email clone, however I don't see any use for it. All the same, if you find something useful in the Google Web Toolkit, share the love!

All my research into web clients reminds me why there are so many. building for the web is the ultimate in rapid application development. I'd go so far as to say web UI may become the first true 5th generation programing language. Exciting isn't it?
