Tokenized Auto-Complete jQuery Plugin

This post is related to the tokenized auto-complete jQuery plugin available at http://loopj.com/2009/04/25/jquery-plugin-tokenizing-autocomplete-text-entry/.  It is a great plugin.  There are several comments in the discussion on that page regarding the following mods to the plugin. 

  • Use of local filtering instead of AJAX.  This makes sense when you have a smaller, pre-defined list of values to select from.

  • Only allowing a token to be selected if it is not already in the list of selected tokens.

It took me a few hours to update the plugin to implement these mods, so I wanted to share the results.

Here is a demo of the plugin modified to for the above items.  Ideally, the plugin would be updated to allow local and remote lookups.  However, I did not have time to implement in this manner, so my version solely works for local lookups.

Testimonials

  • I felt as if my company was their only client. They responded to my needs quickly and efficiently despite short turn around time and intense demands.

    - Teaching Strategies, Inc.

  • Modern Signal has been a great partner for us for over the past 10 years.  As our business grew and our needs changed, Modern Signal was able to work with us to adjust our website platform in the ever-changing online world.  Their service and response level has been second to none, and we've been never been happier with our relationship with them.

    - Charm City Run

  • This was by far the smoothest website redevelopment I have ever experienced. Modern Signal was a wonderful company to work with and we greatly value our working relationship. 

    - National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators

  • Modern Signal worked with us to understand our needs and figure out what solution would work best for us. Our Lighthouse CMS is perfectly suited to our website goals.
