combo-box without validating values

[kaesar]

I was wondering if it is possible to have a feature for the combobox work without validating values​​, allowing you to enter any value, depending on a setup parameter. With a condition like this:

if (this.options.validate == 1) { ... } else { ... }

Regards and Thanks

I am thinking it's outside the scope of this project. Free-form text entry with autocomplete is going to be better served with twitter typeahead than with the way the combobox is structured.

You are right and I appreciate your indication and response. The project typeahead.js covering said feature, and therefore would not be necessary to include in the scope of the bootstrap-combobox.
However, as last observation leave to your consideration that the proposed change could be to include a simple condition (in "blur" method), allowing to have a homogeneous control and allowing to use of the "option" html clause pure instead of creating routines with javascript to load the list (as required with typehead.js).
If you finally dont see it in this scope, so we proceed to close the issue. Thanks.

This is a feature a lot of people want, so we're looking at an implementation that will support ARIA for the 2.0 milestone. This is a duplicate though of a handful of issues including pull request #96 though and will be closed so that progress can be tracked in a single location.
