Hello... http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter I have a question in reqards to the above demo... I have a list of alphanumeric values that I need in the drop down.. however... I need the ID numbers that are pulled from the db that related to each of the paticular numbers to be placed as the value... ie: <option value=234>228282SSS</option> I would like the userver to search the list based on the 228282SSS but the value is what is returned (234) ! is this possible.. and if so.. how ? Thanks so much for your time _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs

Re: Auto compleater ....question about the value.
you could try returning the options that way: <option><span style="display: none">234</span><span class="informal">228282SSS</span></option> This should display 228282SSS but fill the field 234 when it is selected hth On 7/11/06, Stripe-man <remsikt-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hello... > > > http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter > > I have a question in reqards to the above demo... > > I have a list of alphanumeric values that I need in the drop down.. > however... > I need the ID numbers that are pulled from the db that related to each of > the paticular numbers to > be placed as the value... ie: > > <option value=234>228282SSS</option> > > I would like the userver to search the list based on the 228282SSS but > the value is what is returned (234) ! > > is this possible.. and if so.. how ? > > Thanks so much for your time > > _______________________________________________ > Rails-spinoffs mailing list > Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs > > >-- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Siegfried Puchbauer _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
Thanks for the reply...
Please forgive me.. but I should have provided the actual example of what
im using (code originally from the demo page)
<input autocomplete="off" id="contact_name"
name="contact[name]"
size="30" type="text" value="" />
<div class="auto_complete"
id="contact_name_auto_complete"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
new Ajax.Autocompleter.Local(''contact_name'',
''contact_name_auto_complete'',
new Array("Jack Jackson","BoB Smith",
"Mary Jane"),
{
tokens: new
Array('','',''\n''), fullSearch: true,
partialSearch: true}
};
</script>
but what i need is to display Jack Jackson.. but return a key from a
value from the db. IE if Jackjackson id # is 234
Thanks so much for any input :)
