Feature Details

Initialization from HTML Select/XML/JavaScript

You can convert existing select boxes to dhtmlxCombo objects automatically by enabling automatic conversion, or manually with a script method. The combobox can also be initialized from XML or JavaScript.

Filtering

Filtering means the ability to narrow an already-loaded list of options by typing in the combobox. You can try the live demo on combo homepage.

Autocomplete

It's easy to implement the autocomplete feature with dhtmlxCombo. Unlike the filtering feature, autocomplete loads values from an external datasource, while the user types in the combo box. Try the live sample which incorporates thousands of possible values.

Ability to Include Images or Other Objects

dhtmlxCombo has native support for including images and other objects in the list (for example, checkboxes and radio buttons).
