A CodePen by Michael Martin-Smucker. FancyArea Demo - I've been working on a plugin that converts textareas into something a little more useful for creating lists.  It integrates with Twitter's typeahead.js for slick auto-suggestions.

The StateFace icons don't work in Firefox or IE, since they're being served from a different domain. Sorry. :(
