This Django reusable app extends djang-tagging and provides you with a tab editing widget and autocompletion. Forked from django-tagging-autocomplete, uses jQuery Tag-IT (jQuery UI widget).
It seems that IE8 cannot modify DOM while loading. A exception is thrown while calling init_jQueryTagit.
I came up a simple solution: wrap the body of init_jQueryTagit into $(function(){...}). It works on IE8 and may be probably better in general cases: execute code after page is ready.
I can not make django-tagging-autocomplete-tag-it work within admin inlines. I get error ---> Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'tagit' ------
