JQAutocomplete and choose "nil"?

Hi guys,

I am using an JQAutocomplete to let the user pick an item from a large list. However, later on, the user may want to edit this record and set no item (nil). I couldn't find a way of allowing the user to choose "nil" / none item with JQAutocomplete. Any idea how can I achieve that?

Thanks in advance,

Re: JQAutocomplete and choose "nil"?

Does an empty string as the label for the nil object not work?
Otherwise, what we do is to add a 'cancel' link next to the input field. I think that is often a better choice, also to differentiate between an empty string and 'no' string (nil).
