Hi Jon, I have used this very successfully:
http://loopj.com/2009/04/25/jquery-plugin-tokenizing-autocomplete-text-entry/ The demo is here: http://loopj.com/tokeninput/demo.html One thing that differentiates it from the jquery autocomplete package is that it allows you to specify multiple selections, which was something I needed. It also comes with css that gives it a very nice look and feel. I had almost no jquery experience at the time I started with it and was able to get it to work very well. That said, there are a bunch of people that continue to ask for help or report problems, and the author doesn't really seem to respond, so it is not well supported and if you need enhancements, you have to dive in and understand the code.
