Hi,

I'm looking to implement a tag system like how SO uses on their site, where users can specify multiple tag words. However, on top of all the other autocomplete functions available as jquery plugins, I also want to allow users to enter new words not in the database.

Does anyone know of any plugin that can do that? Or if there isn't, how one can add that functionality to an existing autocomplete function?

I'm exploring Drew Wilson's autosuggest plugin at the moment, as it supports multiple tags well: http://code.drewwilson.com/entry/autosuggest-jquery-plugin

Any help appreciated! Thanks :)
