I want to implement something like the tagging system used on Stack Overflow. How?

Question

Is there a name for the method that stackoverflow uses to select tags for questions, ie, typing multiple entreies in a long text field and selecting from ajax-loaded options?

I want to do this with emails, where each email added appears in a list, but maintains hidden form fields underneath?

Is there a jquery plugin that does this?

This requires both client and server elements, so there is no "jQuery plugin" since it only handles client-side code. — Diodeus - James MacFarlane, Feb 06 '12 at 17:24

Checkout another thread about tag plugins, there are quite good examples:

Open source jquery autocomplete tagging
