Show value in tags and autocomplete

I have integrated this for auto complete with tags input. The script I am using is below

$('#textarea').textext({
        plugins : 'tags focus autocomplete ajax',
        tagsItems : [ 'Skoda, BMW, Audi' ],
        ajax : {
            url : '/manual/examples/data.json',
            dataType : 'json',
            cacheResults : true
        }
    });

Here the value 'Skoda, BMW, Audi' is passed from PHP variable. On page load I can not show these values already selected in tags format. How can I pass the value 'Skoda, BMW, Audi' in below format

'Skoda', 'BMW', 'Audi'

so that it gets displayed in tagsItems. Also when I search, it keeps on calling my ajax URL in a loop and without any result.

Feel free to suggest any better plugin for autocomplete with tags input ?

Thanks.

The problem in your case is that you are not getting a returned value- the example one the site is not complete- the tags are stored in a .json file (here).
The url of this file is defined here-

 url : '/manual/examples/data.json',

You should create your own file with the tags you would like to allow, and change the url accordingly.
