Simple Tag Editor & Autocomplete Plugin For jQuery - Input Tag

Input Tag is a jQuery plugin to create a tags input which allows you to pick a tag from an autocomplete dropdown list populated with pre-defined suggestions.

Features:

• Based on jQuery UI autocomplete widget.
• Flexible data source: local data or remote source via AJAX.
• Smart delay, auto focus, and minimum character settings.
• Callback functions.

How to use it:

1. Load jQuery library, jQuery UI and the jQuery input tag plugin in the document.

<script src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="input_tag.js"></script>

2. Create a tag editor

<div id="tags"></div>
<input type="text" id="tag-input">
<input type="hidden" name="country" id="country">

3. Add an array of suggestion to the tag editor.

var dataTags = [
"Azerbaijan",
"Afghanistan ",
"United States",
"United Arab Emirates",
"Algeria",
"Argentina",
"Albania",
"Armenia",
...
];

4. Style the tag editor. You can override them yourself by adding your own styles in your own stylesheet.

  position: absolute;
  z-index: 1000;
  cursor: pointer;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border: 1px solid #ccc  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;

  box-shadow: 0 5px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
