jQuery UI includes autocomplete functionality through its .autocomplete() widget.  The autocomplete textbox can be as-you-type spell check enabled with RapidSpell Web Java, and some small code changes/additions.

 

The code works by activating autocomplete on the RapidSpell IFRAME element and manually handling key events to trigger autocomplete.
