Hi folks,
I've achieved some progress on the autocomplte plugin. The features added by Dan Switzer to Dylan's initial plugin are now merged with modifications for completing multiple values, like in the gmail recpient-field.
I made some minor API changes, changed a lot of default values to provide nice behaviour without specifying any options and refactored quite a lot of code to be able to fix the bugs I most likely introduced. I switched to event delegation for the select box, possibly improving performance a bit. Though Dylan's and Dan's caching code is already providing fast-as-hell autocompletition.
There is one major issue I want to solve before publishing a first release of that rewrite. Until then the code can be found in jQuery's repository[1], if anyone is interested in testing: You're welcome!
