How to show multiple value in jQuery autocomplete? - javascript

I am trying to design a multi-column select/search box as the one shown below.
I thought about using jQuery-UI Autocomplete widget. I will make the list appear in focus so the user can select directly from the list or start typing in the search box to filter the data shown.
I know I can feed the Autocomplete an array of objects as the source and decide a label to be shown as the selected item when the user selects a row.
What I want is to show more than two columns on the list. Any idea how to accomplish that?
thanks,

Use autocomplete renderItem to customize your search results. For multiple column view, use html code in rendering to render table like view. And then use this library to render html in autocomplete UI.

I ended up using typeahead.js from twitter.
Paired with the bloodhound engine it gives the ability to specify costume templates for the list.

Multi select Dropdown with filter

I have a requirement where in I have to create a multi select drop down where the elements can be searchable and the count of selected items should be displayed upon selection.
I have found the partial part of the requirements at this link
But not sure how to make the drop down collapsible and expandable
Wire frame image as below
Has anyone come across and worked on such requirements?
Well it depends also a bit if you are using plain Javascript or if you are also using a Framework like Angular/vue/ember or so
here is one component that looks like it makes what you want

ConverseJS Filter Contacts

I'm trying to use conversejs library to my web project and i added required js files and make it run. But what i wanted to filter contacts. Once i loaded the page filter box is showing just a moment and disappears. I couldn't find how to enable it. When i use the conversejs on conversejs.org it also has no filter box but in https://conversejs.org/tests.html there is a filter box. This is the box I'm talking about
The filter box only appears if there are more contacts than can be shown in the visible area (causing a scrollbar to appear).

Multi-select dropdown menu

I am working on creating a website using node.js and express. I want to add a multi-select dropdown box. I have a Javascript object which contains a variety of properties and would like to populate the dropdown box with all the property values. I would also like to be able to add new options to the dropdown and have them visible without having to refresh the page. Is there someway to accomplish this? Perhaps using JQuery? I would appreciate if someone could provide an example.
I've tried this example, but I would like to have a multi select checkbox for the dropdown. The example requires the user to press ctrl while clicking to select multiple options.
Thanks!
$("#select_id").append("<option value='value'>name</option>");

dojo filteringSelect - allow entry of list items only

Is there a way to force filteringselect to only allow the user to type items that appear in the drop list. I know that it will invalidate anything that is not in the list, but I would just rather it not allow invalid entries to show.
Really, what I would like to see is behaviour that matches the HTML SELECT control. Dojo doesnt seem to provide this with any of its controls.
Im not sure if I read you okay but this is how it things go:
If you type what is in the drop list of the FilteringSelect widget
then there will be no validation error.
If you want to match the HTML Select dropdown, then use
dijit.form.Select.
If you want to Filtering Select behaviour but want also be able to type in values that are not in the drop list, then use the
dijit.form.ComboBox widget.

Auto populate combobox

IN my case i want to implement multi select auto complete combobox using html,javascript.
Is there any body who knows how to implement it.
Which will be similar to text field shown in stackoverflow while adding multipal tags to any question.
If you are talking about multiple drop down boxes that are linked, so that the selection in the first drop down menu determines the possibilities in the next, then the ASP.NET Toolkit has a nice cascading drop down sample. This will only, of course, come in handy if you are programming in ASP.NET. I would not recommend trying to reverse engineer the solution.
What do you mean by auto populate?
If you want to populate the drop down box dynamically you can just use a normal HTML Select tag and use Ajax to fetch the list of values to be shown in the drop down
