Hello,
I have created a ticket for an enhancement of the autocompleter to show the
options immediately when the field gets focus. Right now at least one
character must be typed for autocomplete to kick in.
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5435
I have also made some code changes directly in the script
Event.observe(this.element, "blur",
this.onBlur.bindAsEventListener(this));
Event.observe(this.element, "keypress",
this.onKeyPress.bindAsEventListener(this));
Event.observe(this.element, "focus",
this.onKeyPress.bindAsEventListener(this));
The last line is what I have added.
And then I have commented some code:
onObserverEvent: function() {
this.changed = false;
// if(this.getToken().length>=this.options.minChars) {
this.startIndicator();
this.getUpdatedChoices();
// } else {
// this.active = false;
// this.hide();
// }
},
These changes are not in the best tradition of programming, but I am a
javascript newbie and as a preliminary step I just wanted to get things
working.
The problem with these changes is that in an empty field it is not possible to
select an item from the drop down by clicking on it. (using arrows and tabs
work fine).
Please help me implement this feature. What am I doing wrong or missing in my
implementation, which causes me to face the above problem?
Thanks.

Though still not sure, whether I did it the best way, but I am feeling good that I was able to look into such high quality Javascript code, and understand and modify it :) Cheers. -- Surendra Singhi http://ssinghi.kreeti.com, http://www.kreeti.com Read my blog at: http://cuttingtheredtape.blogspot.com/ ,---- | "O thou my friend!
