Find Photos on Flickr

This example uses AutoComplete to find images by tag from the Flickr webservice. A simple PHP proxy is used to access the remote server via XHR. The generateRequest() method has been customized in order send additional required parameters to the Flickr application. The formatResult() method has been customized in order to display images in the results container, and the default CSS has been enhanced so the results container can scroll. Finally, a itemSelectEvent handler has been defined to collect selected images in a separate container.

Implementers who are working with data from third-party sources, user input data, or otherwise untrustworthy sources should be sure to read the Security Considerations section of the AutoComplete user guide.
