Implement SOTag using ajax
How can I implement the SOTag plugin in an online CMS environment where I do not have rights to deploy .net/php etc. I want to fetch the tags with an ajax call and pass those results to SOTag.
Quite sure the meat of what I need is to overload the following function to allow a autocomplete_method, autocomplete_var or a setting that allows a contained data source. I am not new to js but I can't get my head wrapped around this.
$.getJSON(settings.autocomplete_URL, { q: elem.val() }, function (json_data) { I do understand that there is ajax happening inside the json_data call. I want to expand the plugin capability.

So you want to get the results from a JSON file? I suppose you can point directly to a static JSON file but the search wouldn't work as its done server side, you would have to write some regex to search through it to bring the top 6 results back.
I am pulling from a data source with an existing API. I can manipulate the xml data to create the proper JSON string format (ID, title, description). Can I point to a method that could get the filtered data? That would rock in an epic way.
