Autocomplete field using external API with Salesforce

Is it possible to create an autocompleted field using data from an external (non Salesforce) REST/JSON API?

I guess that if I try to do it I'll run in some same-origin policy problems. So maybe using an APEX class acting as proxy between my JS and my API?

You could use the sforce.connection.remoteFunction funciton from the ajax tookit to get the data from external servers. You will not get the same-orign policy error. And then you could use the jQuery's autocomplete plugin to achieve the auto-complete functionality
