Is there a library (like Wink Toolkit, Sencha Touch or jQuery Mobile) that offers autoplete solutions for web apps out of the box?

I need to apologize because I forgot to add its all about a mobile web app.

The question is excellent. I'm just currently dealing with the very same design problem. Current auto-plete solutions work very poorly on mobile devices (if at all).

Luckily there is jQuery Mobile for which you can get jQM Autoplete as a plugin. See also acpanying design notes.

jQuery UI has autoplete.

there are in fact several.

jQuery UI has auto plete.

Ajax ControlToolkit has autoplete control (for c#)

Mootools auto plete

Hope it helps.

Haven't used any autoplete function for Sencha Touch myself but I know that there is a feature called "bobox" which has that functionality and Sencha Touch developers could use.

Implementing autoplete on mobile makes you have into account that user is more prone to typing errors, and also has a changing connection.

I made an autoplete with jQuery UI autoplete but it performed poorly on mobile. Maybe you could have a different experience with it.
