All, I'm trying to create the same type of functionality that works with the Facebook messages. I'd like to basically have a list of spans (i'm guessing they do something like that) in an input textbox followed by the little to close it out.
Does anyone know how to create something like that?
Thanks in advance!

or, this plugin, I think it's more relevant:
It's not actually an <input>. It's actually a list <ul> with a leading <input> for typing. Whatever you type, it appends to the list behind it, depending on the auto complete options.
there are several attempts to do this, found here:
