hi Jörn,
I see that your great plugin, autocomplete, can also behave like a
combobox (a subset of...), in the sense that the result must match one
of the possible values (practically, identical to a <select><options>
html tags), correct me if I'm wrong.
So, It would be veeeeery interesting to have, not only input and
textarea, but selects, as well, autocompleteable, and in this last
option, to have default behaviour of a combobox (must match, contains,
local (obviously), etc...). All to be more "accessible": if no
autocomplete/combobox plugin, you find your normal SELECT. And also,
without the need of a special format for the data (the data is the
proper <option> tags).
is this in your plans for a next release? does this make any sense to
you? perhaps a "converter" from select/option to input/your data format
in order to use the autocomplete? (this last case is very expensive if
you have thousands of options...)
thanx a lot,
