I'd like to be able to use the same Freebase autosuggest plugin but with the added ability to add multiple entries to a single field separated by commas.
I know that they are using some variation on jquery-ui autocomplete but can't figure out how to do this using their modified JS. http://www.freebase.com/docs/suggest
Any ideas?
Or use something like Jquery Tag-it

I want to build a search field that give suggestions based on what the user is typing. Like the wikipedia search bar.
It should only query for the title names (not implementing any complex algo). What is the best way to do this with rails: gem and from scratch?
Use select2 jquery plugin. Its documentation is pretty cool as well. Visit https://select2.github.io/examples.html . Pass your collection to your form select box and call the class of it with select2. It will suggest the user according to the input.
Is it possible to extend rich:select or h:selectOneMenu to enable multiple selection? I am looking for a jsf component which looks like the jQuery Chosen plugin.
The component should let me select multiple options from the drop down.
Please note that I can not use h:selectManyMenu or list box because of the specific requirement.
Note: just saw the tags field below the description box while posting a question. I am looking exactly for the same functionality, except that I want a JSF component, not a js plugin.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I would use that jQuery Chosen plugin and do something like this:
use jQuery to apply it to your select
use jQuery to get the selected data
pass the data to the backing bean via a hidden input field
There may be 'pure JSF' ways but it looks like more work. If you find something interesting let me know.
is there any way (or plugin) to display editable combobox? I have a set of options, but I would like to give possibility to enter custom value.
I've searched the documentation, and I can't find way to do this. I made workaround with javascript, but I'm looking for more elegant solution.
I'm pretty sure that there simply is no HTML form element that does this, and so Rails can't provide you with a helper. As you said, you can work with JS to create something similar (and there should be JS libraries/plugins already out there), or you could just use a select element and add a text field next to it for new values.
HTML5 specification doesn't define such an element. So you may either continue using JS, either try to use autocomplete feature of an input element (although it is not exactly what you want and doesn't compatible with old browsers).
how do I create autocomplete that works exactly like how the tags work in here? (stackoverflow)?
There are autocomplete plug-ins but not ones where you can separate your tags by commas and do autocomplete for each tags.
You'd need Token Fields

Try the jquery autocomplete the back-end is done in PHP though you can convert it on rails

I am looking for a jQuery list that is editable (add, change, delete elements), what is a good starting point code base that does this?
I found this one example which is great, but it doesn't add, edit or delete list items:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/default.html
you would use that jQuery library along side some small plugins, there not that hard to extend if you understand the Dom and jQuery.
take a look at this plug-in for example.
