TagDragon 1.1 released! »

The release of TagDragon 1.00 has been slightly demoralizing. Despite the hard work, I've gotten very little feedback (although the feedback that I got was great) and I see the download counters increasing, yet zero customers paying. I guess I could have expected that, I naively made the download page public and asked people to pay the small charity fee first.
Not a thing to keep me up at night though. I have persisted in already making a 1.10 version, which fixes some small glitches, adds a lot of options and even brings an API for fine grained control. The change list:
- "max" parameter (controls length of suggestion list) is now also sent to the backend
- callback methods added for onrender, onselect and onload. these allow for very fine-grained control in behavior and rendering
- you can now return rich objects from your backend, so that you can get for example the id of a text value from the suggestion list
- support for alternate rows added
- new option: load list only after a minimum amount of characters entered (minChar option)
- new option: "doubleclick". Determines whether the suggestion list is loaded upon double clicking in the field
- new option: postData. This is a rich object in which you can send additional data params to your backend
- autocomplete="off" is no longer needed in your markup, the plugin handles this automatically now
- three methods added: show, hide and setopions. These allow you to control the component during runtime
- focus is now forced back on field when a value is selected using the mouse
- support for single value suggest controls, by setting the value seperator to nothing ('')
- bug in delayed loading is fixed: the suggestion list now always syncs based on the typing, no matter how slow or fast the user types
- bug when setting an empty value seperator and hitting ENTER inside textarea control fixed

I hope you enjoy this release.
