select-many is close to what I need, and would work perfectly with fewer users. Have been trying to figure out how to solve this problem for the last week with no luck. It should be easy to do, but what really gives me problems is how to filter out the already selected users from the autocomplete ul. I am thinking that the only way of doing this might be with javascript client side.
When something is typed into the autocomplete field rails returns a ul list. Would it be possibe to filter this query result and removing elements that's already in my result div? http://localhost/users/complete_name?query=j <ul> <li>jeppe</li> <----- remove this element - it's already in .results </ul> <ul> <li>john</li> </ul> <ul> <li>oscar</li> </ul> <div class="results"> <ul> <li>jeppe</li> </ul> </div> On Feb 22, 3:15 pm, Bryan Larsen <[email protected]> wrote: > It sounds like you want a combination of name-one and select-many.
