Who said that combobox can't be done with html? As a result of another little project and with help from Matko Andjelinic, here is something: real combobox! Have patience while it loads (just index with 10000 words have 260k), but it works! And it works fast. Design sucks (especially icon for drop down), but you will forgive me that.
My blog also got spammed. I hate that. But, I'm still not disabling comments, so feel free to comment...
