I'm on the verge of launching a new web application, which is likely to need both standard, simple drop-down lists, and more functional autocomplete elements for longer lists of values, better behavior in front, etc. I am planning on using the jQuery UI autocomplete widget along with some list behavior as described here:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#combobox
My concern is that out of the box the Autocomplete widget does not look at all like a standard control. Since this is not easy for the skin / style, I hope to customize the Autocomplete to look and feel as close as possible, unless extended functionality justifies other L&Fs.
What's the best way to redo autocomplete to look bigger? Is this already done? Should I use jQuery UI theming? Other options?
