ComboBox component?
Does anyone know of an existing Tapestry/Javascript combobox component?
I can work around it with a drop list (or radio buttons) and a text
field, but it would be nice to know if there is a better solution.

Yes, or something similar. It is actually possible (sort of) in HTML
via JavaScript, for example:
http://webdeveloper.earthweb.com/repository/javascripts/2003/07/227971/pp_editable_dropdown.html
but it's not perfect (you can only key over the -?- selection) and it
doesn't seem to work in Firefox.
I like your autocomplete solution however, so I will give that a try. I
think a Tapestry component such as this would be a nice addition to the
other contributions, but I wanted to ask before I wrote my own.
Thanks,
Shawn

Do you mean a drop-down (<select>) that you can type into - like in a
desktop app? Unfortunately, this is not possible with HTML -
regardless of the framework. You could use an applet, or an ActiveX
control, but that's about it.
Here's something I've used in the past to get similar functionality in
a webapp:
