Exactly Peter. How easy would be to integrate this with pyjs? My experience with jQuery is very limited. What my editable drop-downs must do is: - it must be initialized with an active value. - it must have several available options. Typing should suggest one of those options. - if the user has typed something new, it must be accepted as is. - it should be possible to select one option via the dropdown, replacing the active text. - once the form (containing all my drop-downs) is submitted, it must read the active value in the drop-down and send it via JSONRPC I am currently doing this with a TextBox, and it is not very nice. Having the Select2 component would be great, but I am worried about the complexity of having some extra jQuery code within my pyjs base. From the link you sent, I understand that the Select2 component satisfies my requirements (and then some). It is reading / writing to it from pyjs that is unclear for me. Thanks, Daniel
