I'm using Autocomplete in a search field to reference and load a record from a database ... it's working perfectly, thank-you for making this UI concept so easy to accomplish ...
Is there a way to have a "special item" return in the autocomplete list regardless of what the user types ... In other words something like ... Imagine a Movie database -- with a UI that allows you to type the movie name in an autocomplete enabled text area ... as you type the name ... possible matches are displayed and available for selection (so far, exactly as you would expect autocomplete to work) ... but as you type, and the list continuously narrows, the user finds that the movie is not in the list ... What I'm trying to figure out how to do - is to have an "Add New" option in the Autocomplete list that shows (at the top or bottom of the autocomplete list) as a selectable option, regardless of what the user is searching for. I can obviously have an "Add New" option when the user types an "a" ... what I would like is for the "Add New" selectable option to show up in all circumstances. Thanks again, Chip
