can’t help, but “unobtrusive” will be definitly on the game card, next time i play “bullshit bingo”
Yeah, isn’t the fact that something works how it is supposed to if it is mirroring something that already exists enough to make it “unobtrusive”?
whuh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtrusive_JavaScript. Great work Juriy, thanks for the free time I get to save up with that cheat sheet.
IPS? It’s a combobox. Why do so many plugin developers come up with unsearchable names?
(I guess it’s better than those that call an autocomplete field–or worse, a stylable select, a combobox.)

IPS comes from In-Place Select – Select box with In-Place editing capabilities. I admit that it’s far from being unobtrusive – a proper way would be to augment already existent drop down. Demo page mentions that this is a work in progress, so there are obviously lots of things that could be done *better*.
Yes, it’s not “an unobtrusive in-place-select widget that mimics the Gmail chat ability to drop down and select, or type in your own new content”, it’s been called a combobox for as long as I can remember, way before Google or even the Web even existed…
When drop-down list is very long it just streches, but there is no inner scroll implemented((
