A working (yes, hard to find) Combo Box script with Rails plugin (and a very long post title)

So this is my first post on this page. It happens that it is also my first Rails plugin ever that I am going to talk about.

I hand crafted for the benefit of all a small Prototype enabled javascript file for handling combo boxes. What i mean by combo box? I mean something similar to a text field, but with suggested entries. I personally use it for allowing the user to create new entries or use existing one.

The basic example is a blog category. You want the user to be able to pick a previously defined category, but also create new ones as they go.

So this plug-in is all about that. Fun huh ? and by the way, it is called Combobox-helper. I don’t know if some other plug-in has the same new and frankly speaking, I don’t care.

You can get it here: http://jguimont.com/combobox_helper

Enjoy! If you happen to use it productively, drop me a line so I can have a look and tell my friend (I should maybe add a ’s’ to friend to make like I have more than my dog) and brag about it.
