I think it would be very cool to have ajax autocompletion inputs in stead of dropdowns on the registration page. I want to replace the country and the state input fields.

Here are some demo's:
http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter
http://gadgetopia.com/autosuggest/
http://javanet1-staging.locaweb.com/ajax-autocomplete/
http://javascript.internet.com/forms/auto-complete-textfield .html << like this one

It could also be used in other places like the search input. Now you have to input something and first refocus on another input before the ajax kicks in. It would be way cool if wou were typing and while you are typing the input suggests or autocompletes your SKU's for exanple. I would suggest using the last link in that case.
Please some one look in to that.

Hi Louis,

Its a nice idea, but it only add cosmetic value, does not help with user experience, does it?

Regards,

Sawan

Well, no, it doesn't add any esthetic value. It will look about the same. It does, however, add ease of use, and therefore user experience to ProductCart.
Lets say you don't completely remember the SKU of a product. Then you can type in the first letter of number, and the system will suggest the rest of the numbers.
When registering, the user will type "Ne", and the system will add "therlands", resulting in "Netherlands".
I just found another use. In de back office, when on the "Generate Store Links" page, you are given a list of all the products. What if you would have 10.000 products. It would be a hell of a job to find the right product.... The AJAX auto completion field would make things a lot easier.
