Rails

I am looking for a combo box for rails . I need to display a list of
existing items along with an option for the user to enter input like
text field. Has anyone used one for RoR?

Assuming that you want autocomplete functionality in a combo box (to
discourage people typing in variations of things that you already have
as an option), i’d recommend the jQuery autocomplete plugin, which works
on a regular text field. It’s highly configurable and can work with
static arrays of options or remote requests for options, which is very
useful when you want to autocomplete from a large set of options.

here’s the demo page which has some examples
