[jQuery] Re: How do i use JQuery Autocomplete for multiple words

[Gath]

Sorry guys! i've known how to do this! just set the multiple option to
True and multipleSeparator to a character of your choice.

example:

$("#tagnames").autocomplete("/tags/filter", {
max: 6,
highlightItem: true,
multiple: true,
multipleSeparator: " ",
matchContains: true,
scroll: true,
scrollHeight: 300
});

Am using this version of JQuery Autocomplete:

Thanks,

Gath

Take a look at the "multiple" examples. Basically you just set multiple:true.
