Rails spinoffs - Nov 2007 - My Autocomplete Div Immediately Fades When Results Returned; 1.8 and 1.6 only

Hi there

I''ve just updated my scripts to script.aculo.us 1.8, and prototype
1.6.... all is generally well except an ''autocompleter'' div
that
returns results immediately fades (opacity); if I revert to the old js
files, everything is fine... any tips? is this a bug?

As I said, my code remains unchanged.  Only the javascript files
''break'' my autocomplete.  Here''s my code:

<input type="text" class="bigField"
id="vFastContact"
name="autocomplete_parameter" value=""
onfocus="eraseAutocomplete(this);" />

<span id="indicator1" style="display:
none"></span>

<div id="autocomplete_choices"
class="autocomplete"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var balls = new Ajax.Autocompleter("vFastContact",
"autocomplete_choices", "../plans/ajax_contacts_xml.php",
{paramName:
"value", minChars: 2, updateElement: contactSelect, indicator:
''indicator1''});
</script>

I''ve isolated it further.  It''s actually Prototype 1.6 that is
bothering my app.  If I reference 1.5.11 everything runs as normal.
Wonder what happened?  Any tips?

Hello

I now have a working example online.

http://www.planmine.net:1974/autocomp_1511.html works as expected,
using Prototype 1.5.11

http://www.planmine.net:1974/autocomp_16.html has my <div> fading when
results are present. The *only* change is the use of Prototype 1.6

This clearly looks like a bug of some sort to me....

This has been resolved, traced to the way the differences in CSS
implementation by Prototype 1.6 and Autocomplete.  In 1.5.11, it sets
the results <div> to an opacity of 1.0;  in prototype 1.6, it sets the
results <div> to the opacity defined in the stylesheet.
