I wanted something like this for model_auto_completer[*] to
provide :allow_free_text, which is analogous to your requirement
except there are no models involved here. I used the very hidden
field, a custom cache field in the text field element, and an onblur
handler.
The hidden field would be maintained via :after_update_element:
function(element, value) {
$(hidden_field).value = 1;
element.cache = element.value;
}
and then there's onblur:
if (this.value != this.cache) {
$(hidden_field).value = '';
}
