I am working on a project at the moment that requires a dialog box or context menu to display when the text in the box matches a certain regex pattern.
For example, if I was to type @user into the text area, a dialog box would show up where the cursor is or just below the typed word containing Ajax generated list of possible matched user names.
Are there any JavaScript packages (preferably a jQuery add-on) that will do this kind of functionality?
I think what you are looking for is a jQuery autocomplete plugin. Here is a site that lists 10 of them: http://webtecker.com/2008/03/10/10-auto-complete-ajax-scripts/
