What I've seen other sites use is the auto-complete textbox to find a name, but then the name leaves the textbox and appears in a non-editable list with [X] boxes to remove entries.

Yeah, that's what I would do since it's too much of a hack to make the auto-suggestion system aware of delimiters.

However, I've been just using jQuery so far for all my Javascript hacks. It's pretty nasty for anything more complex than toggling a hider. :lol

Soon I'm going to switch to a library called [url=http://facebook.github.io/react/]React[/url] to write all the Javascript-heavy UI which makes things much much easier. The sort of interaction you describe is a breeze with React. Not so much with jQuery.

I used jQuery to begin with because it's already a dependency for another library I'm using, so I just rolled with it.
