Default Functionality
The Auto complete widgets provides suggestions while you type
into the field. Here the suggestions are tags for people
names, give "a" (for Aaron or Abel) a try.
Accent Folding
The auto complete field uses a custom source option which will
match results that have accented characters even when the
text field doesn't contain accented characters. However if
the you type in accented characters in the text field it
is smart enough not to show results that aren't accented.
Try typing "Jo" to see "John" and "Jörn", then type "Jö"
to see only "Jörn".
Categories
A categorized search result. Try typing "a" or "n".

A custom widget built by composition of Auto complete and Button.
You can either type something into the field to get filtered
suggestions based on your input, or use the button to get
the full list of selections. The input is read from an existing
select-element for progressive enhancement, passed to Auto
complete with a customized source-option.
Custom Data & Display
You can use your own custom data formats and displays by simply
overriding the default focus and select actions. Try typing
"j" to get a list of projects or just press the down arrow.
Multiple Values
Usage: Type something, eg. "a" to see suggestions for tagging
with people names. Select a value, then continue typing to
add more.
This is an example showing how to use the source-option along
with some events to enable auto completing multiple values
into a single field.
Remote Datasource
The Auto complete widgets provides suggestions while you type
into the field. Here the suggestions are bird names, displayed
when at least two characters are entered into the field.
The datasource is a server-side script which returns JSON data,
specified via a simple URL for the source-option. In addition,
the minLength-option is set to 2 to avoid queries that would
return too many results and the select-event is used to display
some feedback.
