Description
The Combobox is a data input control that allows end-users to enter a value by either selecting from a drop-down list or typing in a text box. It is a ubiquitous data input control found in almost every client application yet, it is strangely ommited from the HTML specification.
Well after looking high and wide on the internet for a good .Net implementation, I decided to write my own. The goal was to create a control that is visually distinctive from the default HTML Select element and provide features such as auto complete and list validation.
Those familiar with the native DropDownList and TextBox server controls should not have trouble getting started. The ComboBox combines many of the same methods and properties found in both controls while intoducing new functionality as needed. The Combobox is fully accessible to scripting languages such as JavaScript and VBScript.
Syntax Example
<![CDATA[<prog:combobox id="cboTest" runat="server">
<option>Item 1</option>
<option>Item 2</option>
<option>Item 3</option>
</prog:combobox>

IE Only?

This control looks great and fancy in IE, but is pitifully broken in other browsers.
