google-style autocompletion tutorial/example - forms

I have an app that would benefit from google-style autocompletion while filling in an entry field.
Any pointers on how this is implemented, or a package that I can drop in to assist?

I use jQuery and the Autocomplete plug-in for this. It allows the data to be either specified in an JavaScript array locally, or received via the network, if a suitable data provider is written.

Here is a decent tutorial using jQuery for the ajax http://nodstrum.com/2007/09/19/autocompleter/

I use script.aculo.us autocompletion. The demo is in Rails but i use it with PHP.

Nowadays jQueryUI is a great choice:

If You want do it Yourself without jQuery just change the .pac-container like below:
{ width:280px !important; font-family:Tahoma;}
or visit this site: http://benkammerling.wordpress.com/2012/02/17/google-maps-places-autocomplete-styling-in-css/
Think help U.

Can I use TYPO3's RTE in a front end plugin?

I have a custom extension, and i need to use some form of text editor in the front-end. According to the documentation, it should be possible, but the documentation and tutorials seem to be deprecated. I think this is not available in typo3 7.6 :
require_once(t3lib_extMgm::extPath('rtehtmlarea').'pi2/class.tx_rtehtmlarea_pi2.php');
Can it be done somehow or do i need to install another extension for this, maybe just a viewhelper? Thank you in advance.
I did lots of researches trying to use the rtehtmlarea in the FE, but failed. Then, I realized I could use any RTE, as they are nothing but js+css. All I need is to render the contents with RTE.FE, like how the BE does, and save the result into the database, which is all I want. I have already done this in many sites, using standalone tinymce, and it works great. So, I think maybe you could try this solution.
To be honest, that feature worked only in theory and never in reality. Use an RTE like ckeditor or whatever fits best

Typo3: creating sideblock using PHP code

I have a piece of PHP code which I would like to integrate into Typo3 as a sideblock for a custom extension I have written.
Can someone tell me how to integrate PHP code into Typo3 as a sideblock or alternatively point me towards some sample code I can look at. I don't want to use typoscript or anything like that, just plain PHP code but so far I have been unable to find a method of doing so.
Any tips would me much appreciated.
Greetings/Thanks

I think you need use typo3 "userfunc". The below link may help you:
http://www.typo3wizard.com/en/snippets/common-problems-and-solutions/simple-userfunc.html
You might also consider the tscobj extension (http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/tscobj), which allows you to include an object like the one created by typo3wizards userfunc-code provided by Sankar V, as a content element in the editing environment of TYPO3. Remember to use "lib." as top-level identifier instead of "temp.", as is done in the snippet for typo3wizard.
Create a small extensions with the TYPO3 Extension kickstarter and insert it as a content element on the "sideblock part" of you website.

Non framework implementation of a hierarchical drop down for Firefox

I need a hierarchical drop down <select><option/></select> for use within a browser, preferably Firefox. I'd rather not use a framework like jQuery. Please spare me the questions as to why.
