Facelist
My latest jQuery project, a bit of a baby really, I have been looking around for this functionality for a while now, finally found a version which is not entirely finsihed or fully functional.
If you use Facebook, you will see what I am trying to achieve here. When sending a mail in Facebook when you start typing into the recipient field you get a quicksearch list, click on a name and it inserts it into the input field similar to how Apple Mail displays its results, continue to enter names and you create a list of people each indiviually able to delete.
Well I have achieved this effect in jQuery, but need to develop it further to provide functional functionality.
So I played around with the code and managed to get some of it working, but I need help. I need the ability to have an ID of an item inserted into a hidden array, but the script will not pass in the second element of the array in a PHP script, rather it does, but then fails when you try to delete the item, it adds a comma into the ID tag and does not handle all spaces properly, thus fails.
There are a dozen support requests around, but if you want to help me out here, all comments gratefully recieved. You may download the zip file and have a go for yourself, but please do let me know if you get anywhere. Zip files here.
A project page has been created on the jQuery website at the following page Facelist.
