jquery.ComboBox was created by a an application developer, Ahura Mazda due to the fact that the standard Select element cannot be styled, or it is limited to what can be styled for some internet browsers, for instance: IE 6.
Even at the moment the jquery.ComboBox behaves as a dropdown list and not a full combobox since it does not currently accept text input, this technique would still allow you to set up a structure of controls.
Some supporting features:
* easy to set up
* control over style of combobox using CSS (background opacity, background color, fonts choices, borders, drop-down button image etc. )
* supports keyboard navigation
* cross-browser support (best viewed in firefox)
* different style of animation for drop-down (fade or slide animation FX)
* original Select html control is still available for access and control and reflects the user’s selection
* works the same with forms and server-side form processing, retaining the original control’s ID and updated values
The latest developed version is jQuery.ComboBox 0.1.2.7. and it is available in .zip file to see offline demo with different styles. Should be interesting to have a try!

Hi there,
I was wondering whether this jQuery.ComboBox can be used in a div/a tag combo?

Hi,
There is some page jump issue on IE7 with this plugin. I have anyway fixed that, so if you need improved version, you can download it free from this link
Apart from that plugin is good.
Thanks
