Rails spinoffs - Jul 2006 - Autocomplete feature for textarea (for entering multiple email addresses)

Hi,
Is there a script.acul.us code or function that will let me do gmail
like autocomplete feature for textarea?

Cheers,
Celia

On my Autocompleter.local result I spotted that every LI has a
class="" attribute with no value. Is there a way to
control whats included in this attribute? Or better still can I control how
Autocompleter.Local formats its result?

Yup, just use CSS selectors:

div.auto_complete ul {
   border:1px solid #888;
   margin:0;
   padding:0;
   width:100%;
   list-style-type:none;
}
div.auto_complete ul li {
   margin:0;
   padding:0px;
   font-size: 10pt;
}
div.auto_complete ul li.selected {
   background-color: #bbb;
}
div.auto_complete ul strong.highlight {
   color: #800;
   margin:0;
   padding:0;
}


Where auto_complete is the class for the div which holds the 
auto-completion results.

Yes, just use a <textarea> tag instead.


<textarea rows="2" id="localac"
cols="65"></textarea>
<div id="localac_list" class="pagecomplete"
style="display:none"></div>

<script>
new Autocompleter.Local(''localac'',
''localac_list'', ......);
</script>
