jQuery.textcomplete

jQuery.textcomplete is very customizable and allows developers to create custom auto-completion systems.

It allows them to setup a custom trigger mechanism, which can be any character and be used for suggesting smileys, tags, normal text, or even create a Twitter and GitHub-like @username mentioning system.

The developer is also in full control over what suggestions will appear in the drop-down suggestion list, taking content from a local or remote source.

And to customize the autocomplete's dropdown behavior even more, lots of callbacks are included, all detailed in the plugin's README file.

A simple demo is included with the jQuery.textcomplete package.
