similar to: piggybacking an action on an autocompleted field

Hi everyone, I need to trigger a Rails action after the autocompletion is completed (when the user has selected an option). From the scriptaculous doc, I figured out ''afterUpdateElement'' is the place to be but I wonder if/how and where I can hook my javascript code to this event in Rails code (I''d like to keep using the helper, if possible)? I tried passing many

Hey all, When using the Ajax.autocompleter, how would I configure it so that the user is searching based on an entry''s name, but once they select an entry, I record the ID? I have the user entering a person''s name in a text box to make it easier to find contacts in a large database. I know that I can display content that doesn''t end up in the textbox by using

I''ve followed the instructions in the Rails Recipe #1 and have the in_place_editor_field working but now I want to tweak how it looks and behaves. I''d like to be able to override the default yellow highlight color, which is done using the highlightcolor param according to the scriptaculous documentation (unless I''m missing something). I''m new to Ruby and Rails

I have a few in_place_editor_fields working fine. I can access some of the script.aculo.us options such as :cols, :save_text, :cancel_text, but how do I access the okButton = false & submitOnBlur options? Basically, I want no submit button, a cancel button, and the ability to submit when I tab out of the field. Is this doable without writing a helper? (avoiding digging that deep so

Any ideas how I can submit say, a person ID instead of the person''s name on an autocompleter input field? Surely this is a common need. Thanks! Daniel

I am going nuts here.. I have a form where users can write a city name (used with auto_complete) - and once they click on the desired city in the dropdown menu - I would like to have the Country field filled automatically as well... Is this possible at all ? If so, can somebody please tell me where I can find some documentation on the subject, or preferrably an example ? Many thanks in

Hi, I''m trying to write a helper for Scriptaculous'' InPlaceCollectionEditor component. I''ve already submitted a patch (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4302). This was a drunk patch; it needs a bit of work (Don''t drink & code!). So far I''ve gotten it to work correctly with normal collections, but I want to use it for belongs_to relations as

I have a a basic prototype coded: #view <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :student, :last_name, { :size => 15 }, :after_update_element => "alert(''hello world'');" %> #controller class ScoresController < ApplicationController auto_complete_for :student, :last_name end If I take out the :after_update_element option everything works as advertised.

I am furiously trying to find what I am looking for in Pickaxe book and not finding it. I''m getting some values back from a posted form and I need to get the ''id'' number off the backend. The ''String'' will always come back to me as... Some_name\r\n123 where 123 is actually the id number which I need to execute the find. The reason they are coming back

Hi, How do I make a request to the Rails team to include a line something like: js_options[''savingText''] = %(''#{options[:saving_text]}'') if options [:saving_text] in the in_place_editor method? script.aculo.us supports the ''savingText'' option to control the text displayed while saving after an in-line edit. Having the ability to

I was wondering if someone could help me with an autocomplete problem. I have the autocomplete div receiving a <UL> that looks like: <ul> <li>Name<br>Email</li> </ul> When the user hits enter and the value is filled into the text field it''s putting both the name and email in the field. I just want the name. Funny this works in Firefox but not IE. I

I''m using the autocomplete function, and need a way to grab a second value from the ajax request... an example would probably speak better: This is my HTML: <input name="CustomerName" id="CustomerName" type="text" /> <div id="CustomerList"></div> <input name="CustomerID" id="CustomerID"

Hello everybody. I''m wondering if there is away with scriptaculous to update multiple form fields with data after finishing an autocomplete request. Heres an example. Joe BlowSchmoe fills in his name and starts to type in the customer number, he selects the approprate customer number from autocomplete list, and bam the address associated with the customer number is populated into the

I have a crude hack to allow auto_complete to work with indexed text fields. I needed it for a timecard entry form with an arbtirary number of records which can be added/changed/delete willy-nilly by users. One of the fields is a perfect candidate for autocomplete since it references a database object with a large number of choices and long descriptions. Using a select list is extremely ugly in

Good day. I have searched on the net and through the archives to now avail as of yet. I have a text_field_with_auto_complete that searches for company names. These company names obviously can have an ''&'' in the name of the company (example Barnes & Nobel). The auto complete works beautifully. However, the problem arises when I pass the name of the company to the

Hi all, Is there a known bug with Ajax.Updater not working in IE6? I''m having trouble with a Autocompleter control that calls a function that contains an Ajax.Updater as an AfterUpdateElement callback. It works fine in firefox, but I don''t think Ajax.Updater gets called under IE. http://pastebin.com/563889 1. function updater(input, item) { 2. var

Hi, I''m using scriptaculous to provide an auto complete textbox - and it works perfectly - but I was wondering if there was anyway to let users navigate the choices using the keyboard i.e the curor keys as opposed to having to use the mouse? Apart from that it''s perfect! :) Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Can some one point me in the right direction? I''ve got several pages that will respond to user input by creating a new div in the content area. I want that new div to visually expand into view or flash with a background color rather than just appear. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Joe, After removing all occurrences of charset=utf-8 from my headers I am still getting the same bug in IE. Currently, it''s Content-Type: text/html Any other suggestion?
