How? ... AFAIK this widget relies on Ajax and with JS turned off, so the functionality would just not be there. IMHO applications designed with Ajax in mind inherently assume JS enabled ... otherwise lots of their functionality would be missing, and the "graceful JS fall back" argument .. I'm just not sure how useful it is in practice. > > So my question is, am I missing something or should I add an option > that would allow the user to type anything in the field? I think we should support both cases.
