how to create multi select auto complete combobox?

Question

In my case I want to implement a multi-select auto-complete combobox using HTML, JavaScript, and JSP.

Is there anybody who knows how to implement this?

This will be similar to the text field shown in StackOverflow while adding multiple tags to any question.

Answer 1

I would recommend an Ajax-driven auto-complete JavaScript combo-box, especially if you have a large set of data to query.

Otherwise, various javascript libraries (like Yahoo UI) do provide this kind of combo-box.

For instance, this combo-box based on ExtJS checkbox does offer a multi-select feature.
