I am building an app that has a messaging system similar to facebook. I
want
to use the functionality of auto_complete to select from a list of
friends
possible recipients.
I want to be able to type a name, choose from the options, add a comma,
get
a new list of options from the database, and choose additional
recipients,
without loosing the previous selections.
I could modify auto_complete_for_user_login(options = {}) to return a
new
selection of options from the db based only on the last part of the
textfield value by stripping the text before the last comma before doing
the
call to get @items. However, when I make a selection the textfield
value is
replaced with the new user’s login.

Has anyone done something like this?
I think that’s provided by the builtin :tokens option, as shown on
page 545 of the Agile.
