jQuery Social Textarea

jQuery Social Textarea can show a dropdown panel with input alternatives whenever the "@" character is typed and followed by another character.

The "@" character is not mandatory and can be easily changed to anything else, but the behavior remains the same, mimicking the mentioning capabilities of networks like Facebook and Twitter.

Under the hood, how jQuery Social Textarea works is by adding a contentEditable DIV to the page, mimicking a real textarea.

The plugin hooks into this DIV and it creates the dropdown suggestions list inside it when needed.

A demo is included with the download package.
