[edit] Notes

  • The tag must be wrapped in a fb:fbml tag with version 1.1.
  • You must name the input.
  • You must set autocomplete="off" to prevent the browser's autocomplete from overriding this tag's.

[edit] Known Issues

  • In profile boxes, the autocomplete options cannot extend beyond the edges of the box the application owns.
  • HTML and FBML that generates HTML inside of fb:typeahead-option is being interpreted as literal HTML
