Textarea with suggestions when user enters @

Question

I'd like to know how to implement a textarea where a user can tag people by typing @ and then write a person's name. You get inline suggestions for word matches. I'm not even sure what the technical name would be for such a feature but it's a common in sites like Facebook.

You want an autocompleter of some sort.

Have a look at this jQuery autocomplete tagging plug-in like StackOverflow's input tags?

The solution for this is using jQuery Tokeninput.

Hopefully you are looking for some Twitter style autocomplete
