Auto-complete is one of the most important aspects of modern web interface.

Auto-complete feature is used to provide auto suggestion for users while entering input. We can create auto-complete using an AJAX call to make a list and display the list using javascript. Creating auto-complete with jquery and jquery-ui is the most efficient way of creating it.

When using you need to retrieve all values from the database before displaying the form. This is a potentially expensive operation on the server and delays the time when the user see the form.
