Any open source tag editors, just like SO's?

javascript, user-interface

Solution

jQuery UI Autocomplete has multi-select support.

Other than that, in no particular order:

- Select2

- jQuery Tag-it!

- Chosen

- TextExt

- jQuery Tags Input Plugin

- jQuery Tagit

- tagedit

- jQuery Tokeninput

- FCBKcomplete

- AutoSuggest

Edit: Just found another similar SO question. Take a look there also: jQuery autocomplete tagging plug-in like StackOverflow's input tags?

Problem

Looking for a UI element implementation that allows to select multiple items out of a predefined set, just like the tag editor we have here, below the question form on StackOverflow. I don't even know what the proper name for such control is to google for it. Multi-select? Multi-edit? Autocomplete (and jQuery Autocmplete) is not quite it because it selects just one item, although the tag editor does have autocomplete as an aid. jQuery is OK although I prefer generic JavaScript that works on modern browsers: IE9+ and the rest.
