Tokenized Auto-Complete jQuery Plugin

This post is related to the tokenized auto-complete jQuery plugin available at http://loopj.com/2009/04/25/jquery-plugin-tokenizing-autocomplete-text-entry/.  It is a great plugin.  There are several comments in the discussion on that page regarding the following mods to the plugin. 

  • Use of local filtering instead of AJAX.  This makes sense when you have a smaller, pre-defined list of values to select from.

  • Only allowing a token to be selected if it is not already in the list of selected tokens.

It took me a few hours to update the plugin to implement these mods, so I wanted to share the results.

Here is a demo of the plugin modified to for the above items.  Ideally, the plugin would be updated to allow local and remote lookups.  However, I did not have time to implement in this manner, so my version solely works for local lookups.
