Combobox displaying multiple rows

Sorry my question earlier was a bit off, what I really meant was this:

Combobox works as a substitute for <select>, combining it with <input>, and it works great with the filtering.
However, what I need is almost like this:

<input type="text">
<select rows="20">
<option>Fa</option>
<option>Fab</option>
<option>Fb</option>
<option>Fd</option>
<option>Fe</option>
<option>Ff</option>
</select>

When I enter F in the input field, all beginning with F is displayed, then I write Fa, only the two first shows etc..

In this case, the client wants me to display all options, filtering the display list on what the user inputs. At first I thought Combobox would be a good solution, so I got the pro version for the project, but I can't really get this to work as the client wants..

Can I do this with Combobox or do I need to write something new?

Thanks,
Rene

Actually the functionality which you describe is combobox in filtering mode, please check

Please check
http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxCombo/samples/filtering/combo_filter.html

If this is functionality is not the same as required - please mention what is difference ( currently it works same as you described, the select shows only options, which starts from entered text )
