I was evaluating all the available JQuery plugins to get a Facebook-like contact autocompletion functionality, and deemed the one by Ian Tearle to be the most complete available. However, most complete does not mean fully done, or bug free, and I learned this the hard way doing an initial implementation on a project I?m doing at work.Spending all day with the lovely Firebug debugger and testing in both Firefox 3 and IE7, I can say I have it working the way I need it to. My version fixes the following issues:
- - Not all results that are returned are displayed
- - Duplicate contacts can be inserted
- - When searching, the user is not notified that a search is being performed
- - The ID was being displayed with the search results, this has now been removed
