Does a jQuery plug-in exist for replacing select/combo box?

I tried SexyCombo, and it is as close to what I want, but it doesn't complete if you are writing from middle, only from beginning.

I have 2 levels of categories (20 top level categories, and with subcategories in total 120 categories), so when user is submitting an entry, he must find desired category as soon as possible.

So... 2 levels + autocomplete populate text even if you write middle letters.

Or any other solution?

Have a look at the following example of the jQueryUI Autocomplete, as it is keeping a select around and I think that is what you are looking for. Hope this helps.
