I have no idea what this is even called so not sure where to start, hoping you all are able to point me in the right direction. I am trying to create something like this:

Input Tags

The idea being that when a user types something in and then separates with a comma, their input into this form field will turn into a little tag-like box that they can then delete with the x.

Any ideas on where to start?

Thanks!

    Here is simple example: http://jsfiddle.net/9tzb4/

    HTML:

    <form>
      Tags:
      <div class="tag_field">
        <input type="text">  
        <input type="hidden" name="tags">
      </div>
    
      <br>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
    

    CSS:

    .tag_buttons {
      position: absolute;  
    }
    
    .tag_buttons div {
      display:inline-block;
      margin: 2px;
      border: 1px solid #666;
      padding: 1px;
    }
    
    .tag_field input[type=text] {
      padding: 5px;
      width: 300px;
      border: 1px solid #666;
    
    }
    

    JavaScript:

    $(".tag_field").each(function() {
      var buttons = $("<div/>");
      var input = $(this).find("input[type=text]");
      var output = $(this).find("input[type=hidden]");
    
      var update_padding = function() {
        input.css("padding-left", buttons.width() + 2);
      };       
      setInterval(update_padding, 300);
    
      $(this).prepend(buttons);
      buttons.addClass("tag_buttons");
      buttons.css({ left: input.offset().left + 1,
                    top: input.offset().top + 2 });
      input.bind("keyup change paste", function() {
        var i = input.val().indexOf(",");
        if (i >= 0) {
          var new_tag = input.val().substr(0, i);
          input.val(input.val().substr(i+1));
          buttons.append("<div id='button'><span class='value'>"+new_tag+"</span> <span class='close'>(x)</span></div>");
        }
      });
    
      var form = $(this).closest("form");
      if (form.length > 0) {
        form.submit(function() {
          var v = [];
          form.find(".tag_buttons div").each(function() {
            v.push($(this).find(".value").html());      
          });
    
          output.val(v.join(","));
          return false;
        });          
      }
    
    });
    $(document).on("click", ".tag_buttons span.close", {}, function(e) {
      $(e.target).closest("div").detach();      
    });
