- Java Auto-Completing Combobox Applet
- License: Shareware

JumpToWidget is a Java applet that combines a text input box with a list box so that a user can make a selection from a large list quickly by typing in a substring into the text input box. On each keypress, the List box updates to show only the options that contain the entered substrings. Substrings are separated by spaces in the text input box. Only options which contain every substring are matched, and the comparison is case insensitive by default. This widget attempts to mimic the behaviour of the "Jump To File" feature in Winamp.
