Autocomplete for mobile web apps

Is there a library (like Wink Toolkit, Sencha Touch or jQuery Mobile) that offers autocomplete solutions for web apps out of the box?

I need to apologize because I forgot to add its all about a mobile web app.

Implementing autocomplete on mobile makes you have into account that user is more prone to typing errors, and also has a changing connection.

I made an autocomplete with jQuery UI autocomplete but it performed poorly on mobile. Maybe you could have a different experience with it.

The question is excellent. I'm just currently dealing with the very same design problem. Current auto-complete solutions work very poorly on mobile devices (if at all).

Luckily there is jQuery Mobile for which you can get jQM Autocomplete as a plugin. See also accompanying design notes.

Haven't used any autocomplete function for Sencha Touch myself but I know that there is a feature called "combobox" which has that functionality and Sencha Touch developers could use.
