history

Posted by cgp
I did a fun little ditty here that does a combination of autocomplete and history. Using the jQuery UI (1.8) framework, it seems to work pretty well. Basically, the text box tracks what you enter into it in a cookie. Cookies can range in size from 2k-4k, so this is probably adequate for my purposes. Chrome has a 4k limit. I guess the advanced version would be to use local storage. (checks the HTML5 support list)
Use the up arrow to invoke the history:
