Autocomplete plugin:

[coreycoto]

Users unable from inputting items not in the autocomplete selection list.

Fix proposed by Gustavo Picón (tabo) on Jörn's blog ( http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/) successfully corrects this issue.

Code:

// matches also semicolon
case options.multiple && $.trim(options.multipleSeparator) == "," &&
KEY.COMMA:
//FIX: Allows user to input item not in selection
if (!options.mustMatch) {
       break;
}
case KEY.TAB:
case KEY.RETURN:
if( selectCurrent() ){

[coreycoto]

$("#txtTagInput").autocomplete(" http://www.jquery.com/webservice", {

contentType: "application/json", cacheLength: 1, max: 10, multiple: true, dataType: 'json'

});

Useage example:

Selection list contains: Boston Bottom Box

User enters: "Bar"

Once the user enters a comma, the first item in the selection list is picked.

Dup of #2757?

The autocomplete plugin is now developed under the jQuery UI umbrella. Reopen a ticket there ( http://dev.jqueryui.com/) or participate on the planning wiki ( http://wiki.jqueryui.com/Autocomplete) if appropiate.
