not work proprly ,

Контекстного меню поля нет, фиксированное число строк - 20. Список появляется только после ввода части текста - так уж проще автодополнением встроенным пользоваться. Там хоть нет ограничения в 20.

I love it But, it really needs improvements as follows:- 1. It must work on every type of form element. Since it stops working ata variety of fields. For instance, while filling in the "text area" type of element, it wont popup. 2. More than 20 fields are required. I being a student need to fill in lengthy forms but I have no choice of more than 20 fields only. Even after above observations, I gave it 5 stars for at least working for 20 fields without any hassle! Great idea!
