At IBR we have a lot of internal forms that require selecting something from an extremely long list. Recently I've been exerimenting with AJAX autocomplete fields. The code I was using can be found here (I didn't write it):

This is working to speed up forms a lot because rather then picking through a select box with hundreds of entries users can just start typing to get to their selection.

It might be interesting to see something like this in ad_form so OpenACS could have AJAX style-autocomplete out of the box.
