You are right, we disagree. You should look at script.aculo.us and YUI autocompleters and what they offer. Both are real world enough. > BTW: you pointed enough to your plugin in this thread.

I was just trying to point out that your excellent start for an autocompleter was missing some functionality that should, in my very humble opinion, be included if you want to position it as the standard in the interface set. I offered you my insights, my code and my help, and you apparently take offense. There's really no need for that. _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
