I love the fact that you still use my birds example :-)

(I wrote autocomplete for the form on www.waarneming.nl, a Dutch site
for nature sightings, and I used a dump of our English and Latin bird
names to fill search.php).

Hi folks,

for anyone interested in the progess of the autocomplete plugin I've
uploaded the current demo: http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/

There are already a few notable improvements:

    * completeting multiple values works much better, whitespace is
      ignored and cleaned up whenever necessary
    * the search term is highlighted in the select box
    * select box can be closed with esc key
    * use dimensions plugin to calculate offset of input element,
      providing a tons more robust calculation even in complex layouts

These items are still on the todo list:

    * pass plain data to result handler instead of expanded dom element,
      maybe add reference to input
    * allow modification of not-last value in multiple-fields
    * add support for multiple fields for findValue/result-event
    * add proper example for completing multiple values and updating
      related ids to a hidden field
    * modify demo to work with a proper form, no always-prevent-submit!
    * add a callback to allow decoding the response

Your feedback, especially about usability issues, is very welcome. Just
keep in mind that this isn't anywhere near production-ready and a few
API changes are on their way.
