unemployment Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I built a private messaging system and I want to add peoples user names via a span in the input box. Facebook used to do this. I already made the auto suggest search for "friend", now I need to add in their names. Please give me some suggestions on how to do it.

fugix Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 either that is not an actual input box or they are setting some sort of onchange event to display window.form.value=the names out of the db inside of a span or div Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
