guys- thanks for the replies.. jake got me started and i ended up with
following.. if anybody can turn it into a "plugin" that takes the
input field's name and the list of tags as parameters, it might be
useful for the community..
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
$(function(){
$("span.tag").click(function(){
var input = $("input.tagtext");
if (input.val().search(new RegExp("\\b"+$(this).text()+"\
\b","i"))===-1) {
input.val(input.val() + $(this).text() + " ");
$(this).addClass("selected");
}
else
{
input.val(input.val().replace($(this).text() +
" ", ""));
$(this).removeClass("selected");
}
return false;
});
});
// ]]>
</script>
<style type="text/css">
span.tag.selected {background:blue;color:white;padding:2px
6px;cursor:pointer;}
input.tagtext {width:400px;}
</style>
