预测下拉输入

Question

I have a table called contacts, where each user stores the username of his contacts:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE sender='".$_SESSION ["username"]."'");
$row  = mysql_fetch_array($result);

My page is used to compose a message to an user. So when a user types in the textfield I need to show a dropdown list matching names from his contacts (as in Gmail).

<input name="reciever" type="text" value="" class="inputs3" placeholder="Enter the username"/>

I searched a lot, but couldn't find any working script.

Take a look at this auto complete sample, Demo

autocomplete({
        minLength: 1,
        source: function( request, response ) {
          //check if the request string starts with a space
          if(request.term===' ')
          {
            response([{value: "Enter Some text to search"}]);
            return false;
          }
          // delegate back to autocomplete, but extract the last term
          response( $.ui.autocomplete.filter(
          availableTags, extractLast( request.term ) ) );
        }

This will give autocomplete coding idea
