a rock-solid jQuery autocomplete plugin

There are zillions of them out there. This one stands out for these reasons:
  • it correctly behaves when you delete characters as you type (resubmits and shows new list)
  • it prepopulates the input field as you type
  • it doesn't submit the whole form if you use arrow keys + enter (something many others do)
  • allows many different ways to load the data locally (local is always faster)
  • lets you create specific formatting for each item in the popup
