================================================= jQuery Plugin: Tokenizing Autocomplete Text Entry By James Smith - http://loopj.com ================================================= Overview -------- This is a jQuery plugin to allow users to select multiple items from a predefined list, using autocompletion as they type to find each item. You may have seen a similar type of text entry when filling in the recipients field sending messages on facebook. License ------- This plugin is licensed under both the GPL and MIT licenses. Choose which ever one suits your project best. How to Use This jQuery Plugin: ------------------------------ * Make sure you have jquery script included on your page * Include jquery.tokeninput.js on your page * Include one of the provided stylesheets, or make your own * Create a server-side script (php/rails/django anything goes) to generate the search results. The script itself can fetch data from wherever you like, for example a database or a hardcoded list, but it must do the following: o Take exactly one GET parameter named “q” which will contain the query string. E.g. http://www.example.com/myscript?q=query o Output JSON search results in the following format: [{"id":"856","name":"House"}, {"id":"1035","name":"Desperate Housewives"}, {"id":"1048","name":"Dollhouse"}, {"id":"1113","name":"Full House"} ] * Turn text inputs into tokeninputs using jQuery and point them to your results script: <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $("#my-text-input").tokenInput("/url/to/your/script/"); }); </script> * A list of selected item ids is created inside the original text entry, process them as usual when the form is submitted.
