If not, then - judging by this thread title - you're just going to submit an ajax request to get the appropriate select box contents.
Need some clarification!

a small hint -
function show()
{
var val = document.getElementById('elem').value;
//send this "val" to ajax request for the backend page which searches for the "val" and reponse back
}
</head>
<body>
<form id="frm" name="frm">
<input type="text" id="elem" name="elem" onkeyup="show();" />
</form>
</body>

why not just have an autosuggest box?

agree, because that's what people generally do, and which is best done by the ajax.
But he wants to populate the select element depending upon the contents of the textbox, like if the person types 'i' in the textbox then all the countries starting from letter 'i' should show in the select element.
