auto complete box

I received a link from the PHP experts to the code below. I am trying to modify it to work with my PHP code. It is an auto complete box with a text box beside it. When a name is typed it comes up in the dropdown menu. When I tried to execute the code it wouldn't change the dropdown menu.
Thanks,
Michael
