Facebook-Like Inputs With jQuery Or MooTools
15
Apr
It is possible to create stylish textboxes with auto-complete feature, just like Facebook has, using plugins for jQuery & MooTools.
For jQuery:
Autobox is a jQuery plugin that makes creating textboxes with auto-complete support easier.
Values expected can be mentioned staticly or called dynamically via Ajax requests. Documentation for the plugin can be found here.
For MooTools:
TextboxList, a MooTools plugin, for creating auto-complete enabled Facebook-like inputs has a new version (see WRD post for the old version).
It can be feeded with data from any data-source easily, makes a binary search for a better performance & offers various options for maximum flexibility.

Actually I’ve found FCBKComplete for jQuery to be the best Facebook-esque input selector of the bunch so far.
It’s got the most features and best browser compatibility. (LOL sounds like a shill, but just a developer here looking for the best control).

Are you serious Sean O?
Have you even looked at TextboxList (on which FCBKComplete is inspired, btw)?
@Guillermo: I know this is really old but still wanted to comment. Considering Sean’s sentence structure I believe he was referring to jQuery only plugins so his “best Facebook-esque input selector” doesn’t include any Mootools framework developed tools.
The autobox-Link is not available anymore. Does anybody know a new reference?
