It would be nice if the plugin could insert a floating div just above, or below, the text box instead of requiring an output target element to be supplied. Perhaps the target element could be optional. If it's supplied, use it, otherwise, generate a floating div. Perhaps that floating div could appear when the user is typing, and fade out if they stop typing for more than some number of seconds.

What I mean by floating div is a div that is outside the flow of the page (the page flows underneath it) so that it doesn't alter the layout of the page when it appears.

a beta version of this fix is in the 2.2.0b branch.
