* jQuery autocomplete requires complex hacks to work out and look
select-ish
* select2 is more straightforward to use for people
expecting <select> as it's styled similarly to a (non-standard)
select
* select2 includes built-in support for groups, no need to hack it via
interspersed fake options
* select2 provides a nice [x] button to remove the current choice
without having to e.g. manually remove the content of the input
Why select2 instead of Chosen? Because Chosen isn't really setup to
work from array data, it wants selects serialized in the DOM, and
while the webkit bug I'd identified previously (see web client
revid:xmo@openerp.com-20110922085812-3u1esk6czraskm01) seems fixed in
the very latest webkits, it's still present in e.g. Safari 5.1 which
I'm using. So there.
And chosen's APIDoc is almost as bad as OpenERP's.
