There's a standard HTML element for adding auto-complete to a text field: datalist.

You use it like this:

<label>
  <input type="text" list="colors" />
</label>
<datalist id="colors">
  <option value="red">
  <option value="blue">
  <option value="green">
</datalist>

Try it:

Final thoughts

Good luck styling it, though. Also, screen reader support is apparently lacking.
