Hi Guys
I am building an app that has a messaging system similar to facebook. I want
to use the functionality of auto_complete to select from a list of friends
possible recipients.
I want to be able to type a name, choose from the options, add a comma, get
a new list of options from the database, and choose additional recipients,
without loosing the previous selections.
I could modify auto_complete_for_user_login(options = {}) to return a new
selection of options from the db based only on the last part of the
textfield value by stripping the text before the last comma before doing the
call to get @items. However, when I make a selection the textfield value is
replaced with the new user''s login.
Has anyone done something like this?
Regards
Ivor

Thanks Xavier! I was wondering why google isn''t bringing up any results - should have gone to Agile from the start. Many many thanks - the world makes sense again :) Ivor On Nov 29, 2007 1:16 PM, Xavier Noria <fxn-xlncskNFVEJBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > On Nov 29, 2007, at 12:07 PM, Ivor Paul wrote: > > > I am building an app that has a messaging system similar to > > facebook.
