Build Status

A jQuery plugin that suggests and autocompletes the domain whenever your users type in an email address field.

What does it do?

When your user types in "user@gm", the plugin will suggest for e.g. "user@gmail.com", based on the first result from a list of predefined email domains.

diagram

Press the tab-key, or simply click on the suggestion to automatically fill in the rest of the domain. (or tap on the suggestion for mobile users.)

You can also use the right arrow key.
