Multiple selection feature for PrimeFaces jQuery AutoComplete has been a popular request and with 3.1, we’ve decided to bring it.

6. Autosuggest / Autocomplete with jQuery, Ajax, XML, PHP

The jQuery Autocomplete class adds a popdown menu of suggested values to a text field. The user can either click directly on a suggestion to enter it into the field, or navigate the list using the up and down arrow keys, selecting a value using the tab key. The values for the suggestion list are to provide as XML (by a PHP script, or similar).

9. AJAX Search Suggest with jQuery

To recreate the search suggest feature, we’re going to use jQuery and a small amount of PHP to query the server for search terms. To allow these two scripts to communicate, we’ll make use of AJAX — passing a string containing the search term from jQuery to PHP.
