Putting multiple strings into selectedLookUpsHtml

Question

I am trying to put multiple strings into the selectedLookUpsHtml option of glowLookUpTextBox , but it is not working, like so: 
 context.photographer = context.photographer.glowLookUpTextBox({
 delimiter: ',',
 maxValues: 5,
 onGetLookUps: function(tb, searchText) {
 searchUsers(context, tb, searchText, "Photographer");
 },
 emptyHtml: '',
 selectedLookUpsHtml: ["mary","james"],
 deleteImageUrl: ''}); 
 and 
 context.photographer = context.photographer.glowLookUpTextBox({
 delimiter: ',',
 maxValues: 5,
 onGetLookUps: function(tb, searchText) {
 searchUsers(context, tb, searchText, "Photographer");
 },
 emptyHtml: '',
 selectedLookUpsHtml: context.photogTitle.split(","),
 deleteImageUrl: ''}); 
 
 Does anyone know the syntax for putting multiple strings in this option?

The glowLookUpTextBox decorates an input[type="text"] element. The element should have a delimited list of values (you've identified comma delimitation) so you should have 
 <input type="text" id="YOUR_ID" value="value1,value2" /> 
 The display HTML provided to selectedLookUpsHtml will be matched to the raw values in the textbox to populate the glowLookUpTextBox. If you specified: 
 selectedLookUpsHtml: ["mary", "james"] 
 Then the resulting glowLookUpTextBox would have two selected lookups: "mary" (with value "value1") and "james (with value "value2").
