I have a new demo at http://munich.schwarz-interactive.de/autocomplete.aspx which will use a textbox and Ajax.NET Professional to search for customer names (1st textbox) and then for the orders of this selected customer (2nd textbox).

There is a big difference to other AutoComplet boxes. You can use any AjaxMethod to do your search. There is an example done with returning DataSets, default would be something like string[] (arrays). The second textbox is using the CustomerID from the first textbox, not the CustomerName. This is also very different to other controls. If you have a look in the source code you will find both controls and how they are rendering the lines.

I didn't test the control in all browsers, IE and Firefox should work.

Would be nice to get some feedback!!  ;)

  You can use right-click, view source to get the source of the html code. The autocomplete.js is in folder /scripts, so you can download it directly.
  
  Do you need the server-side code, too?

  Yes, of course, I will add mouse support. I wrote this small script in some minutes, so please wait until the next days... ;)

  The download will be included in the next release of the starter kit... Hopefully I can get this end of this week already.

  If you resize the window, the DIV with all possible choices is visible where the text box was located before I re-sized it.

  built my own page and got this: Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property or method MS.Position.setBounds(this.div, r);

  Yes, of course you can do this. JavaScript code is available and you have to return the list you want to see. It is not a Ajax.NET behaviour, it is the method which will return the items.
