Great plugin.

I found a couple of items: 
Using FF 1.5.0.6, when I type com and get the suggestions then use the
down/up cursor keys, the cursor keys skip every other suggestion (i.e.
pressing down moves the highlight down two suggestions). Also, if I use the
cursor keys and press return or tab, the alert comes up and the textfield is
cleared. If I select a suggestion with the mouse, the alert comes up and the
selection is placed in the textfield.

Hmmm. It looks like I caught you mid-update. I just tried this in IE, and IE
showed both the common and scientific name (two lines, with the above issues
not occurring). Going back to FF, now it shows both the common and
scientific name and no longer has the problems. However, IE and FF don't
display the suggestions the same way.

I'll take a look again later today to see if things have settled.

BTW: To you or other jQueryists: There are several autocomplete plugins that
I am aware of: <http://www.dyve.net/jquery/?autocomplete>,
<http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/autocompleter.html>,
<http://www.webunity.nl/_test/jquery/autocomplete.html>,
<http://www.stilbuero.de/demo/jquery/autocomplete.html>. This one, Dylan's,
is working with the current jQuery and seems the most complete. Why would I
use the others? Are the other plugins being maintained?

Also, could we [or should we] recommend certain plugins over their siblings
on the jQuery plugin page <http://jquery.com/plugins/>? I'm afflicted with
that Engineering disease where if I have choices, I must test all choices to
find the best one. However, if one plugin was recommended by the jQuery
community, I'd [likely] use that one without hesitation.
