autocomplete is the place to enter some text based on a list of values. you may set mustMatch:false, and you'll be able to enter text not in the list. then, if you set on* on the input field, it may do whatever you want with the text you entered.

I would like to add a "Create new..." item to my autocomplete lists to give users a way to create new items. This item would stick at either the top of the bottom of the suggestion list and, when selected, fire a callback where I could display a dialog to collect the information for the new entry, which would then go into the autocomplete list. I could easily be missing something but this doesn't look possible out of the box. Has anyone done something like this before? More explanation: I'm selecting from a list of people. If the person I'm looking for isn't in the list I need to pop up a dialog so I can enter their name, email, etc. That new person then gets put into the autocomplete list and selected into the form field. I've been poking around the source code but haven't been able to figure out a way to implement this yet. Any suggestions or alternate approaches would be most welcome. Thanks! -st.
