Support for async calls #4

Common request is that data source is queried while user types. Does this widget supports that. Original mentions input had onDataRequest and callback so it was easy to implement ajax calls.

Yes, you can use the source option. This option is passed to the jQuery Autocomplete plugin, so you can pass any value supported by jQuery Autocomplete. See http://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#option-source for available values. To implement ajax, you just do something like this $('textarea').mentionsInput({source: 'http://example.com/autocomplete/'})
