Does the jquery autosuggest plugin allow you to enter your own values (not from the dropdown)?

i really like this plugin but it seems to be a flaw in it that its missing the feature to be able to create you own tags on the fly (its restrict to choosing from the dropdown list).

is there any other plugin that supports this additional feature or does the autosuggest plugin have anyway of supporting entering my own tags. I would rather not have 2 textboxes (1 for checki开发者_如何学Cng for existing items and one for entering new ones).

It (the demo sample) let me enter a tag that wasn't part of the demo set of tags.

I've never used this plug-in, so I may be missing something with the underlying implementation.

I do know the jQuery UI AutoComplete widget supports this. Here's the document link, and there's a good example on having multiple tags ("multiple values sample") that aren't part of a custom data set. That was the sample that I learned from to build my page.

The downside with the jQuery UI widget is that a lot of the fancy styling is up to you.

Hope this helps!
