Flickr Tags Autocomplete

Yeah, well, yet another Greasemonkey autocomplete script. If you go to Flickr’s Photos upload page, there’s no provision to select from your tags to add tags. Moreover, the default browser autocomplete obviously doesn’t understand Flickr’s space-delimited tagging. So when you type a character it’d provide you the entire set of tags that you might have typed earlier.

This script, on the other hand, has undergone rigorous training from folks at Flickrland and Monkeyland. After you type a space in the tags text box, the script will autocomplete for the character after the space. It’s kinda buggy, let me tell you. Get the script here. And don’t forget to set user_id—some-number@N00—in flickr_request().

That’s it from Monkeyland for now.

What feed does it use to get the list of tags?

You should give a greasemonkey talk at the (increasingly hypothetical!) next ruby meeting - would be fun to branch out a little.

Yeah, man, this Ruby thing does not seem to be happening for whatever reason.

And it’s only now that I know who the guy behind this ID is.

It's a click away from my userinfo :)

(Your style's broken, btw - when I click on the livejournal user option and try to log in and post at once, the "post comment" button vanishes)
