Delete tagLabel in input-Field with tagit

Question

I use https://github.com/aehlke/tag-it this Addon for Autocomplete Tagging

The user just can take labels out of the existing array sampleTags

Before the tag is added I check whether the element is in Array or not

beforeTagAdded: function(evt, ui) {  
               var counter = jQuery.inArray(ui.tagLabel, sampleTags);

               if (counter != -1 ) { return true; }
       else { alert('This word is not in array'); return false; }  
},

But the input then is not deleted .

How can I do this?

Try this:

if (counter != -1) {
    return true;
} else {
    alert('This word is not in array');
    $('.tagit-new input').val('');
    return false;
}
