title: Autocomplete vs Drop-down. When to use?
body: <p>I've read somewhere (can't remember/find where) an article about web usability describing when to use drop downs and when to use autocomplete fields.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, the article says that the human brain cannot store more then the last five options presented to choose.</p>
  
  <p>For example, in a profile form, where there is your current occupation, and the system gives you a bunch of options, when you read the sixth options, your brain can't remember the first one anymore. This example is a great place to use an autocomplete field, where the user types something that he thinks that would be his occupation and then select the better from the few options filtered.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to hear your opinion about this subject.</p>
  
  <p>When should I use a drop-down and when I should use a Autocomplete field?</p>
