Hi Jorn,
I would very much like to see autocomplete move on, but in my current
situation, I can't guarantee any effort of my own. Dan's version fixes
some bugs and adds some interesting new stuff. I've got a basic set of
documentation for my own initial version here:
http://www.dyve.net/jquery/autocomplete.txt
Ah, cool. Is there a link to that file on your page anywhere?
I've always said to consider the code free as in both beer and speech,
my ego would like to see my name mentioned somewhere in the comments
of a derivate work though.
Sure thing! I'd put your name in the license header, like with the
tooltip plug:
http://dev.jquery.com/browser/trunk/plugins/tooltip/jquery.tooltip.js
Is that ok?
Yes! I love the positive response autocomplete has generated, and I
really like what Dan did to it (I use Dan's version myself, I consider
his to be an improvement). Of course, I hope it won't lose any
functionality in the process of broadening its horizon (although I've
heard people ask for json instead of the simple plain text data format
I made up).
The difficult part of doing rewrites is to restore the old
functionality. I'll try to achive that by refactoring the code at first,
without changing any behaviour.
Feel free to contact me by e-mail, you've got my vote to make this
happen. And if I can spare the time to put in some lines of code,
you've got that too :-)
Cool :-)
