type-ahead in select box

Greetings. I've been asked to implement a select box with true type-ahead functionality so that typing "mar" selects Maryland. I'm not supposed to use JavaScript. I'm using Struts. Any solutions? Thanks!

You aren't supposed to use Javascript? Then you are SOL. Unless you want to use an applet for the form. You can look to AJAX, but that's based on Javascript. You can look at what Yahoo! Mail does with their address book, but that's Javascript also.

By naming struts, do you mean that struts doesn't recommend java script? but anyway for capturing the keypress and keydown events you have to use the javascript.
