search for: autocomplete

I''m sure there is an easy way to do this, but it is one of those things that is incredibly difficult to search for. How can I disable an ''Ajax.Autocompleter'' element from working ''on the fly''? I have a page where I''m using two (I know it''s crazy) Ajax.Autocompleter elements and once one of them has got a result I want the other field to just behave as a normal text input. There may even be a defined method...

I''m absolutely in love with the incremental autocomplete feature in the new scriptaculous. My one wish would be for some way of disabling the TAB key to prevent users from being able to tab out of an autocompleting textarea. (If they''re using TAB to select the autocomplete choice they end up tabbing straight out of the input field if autocompl...

I noticed that the latest control.js disables auto complete: this.element.setAttribute(''autocomplete'',''off''); So I removed my inline "autocomplete=''off''" from my input fields. But Firefox still auto completes. Using the Firefox DOM Inspector I do see that it''s applied by Ajax.Autocompleter as expected. The Inspector displays this...

Has anyone extended the Autocompleter to do multiple auto-completes in a single input field? I''m looking to achieve similar functionality to the del.icio.us <http://del.icio.us> post page which allows multiple auto-completes of tag names in the tags input field. cheers, Rob -------------- next part -------------- An...

Hi, I''m trying to get autocomplete to work but have been having some problems. It seems that Ajax.Autocompleter(...) is not getting called. I''ve put in a alert in control.js: Autocompleter.Local = Class.create(); Autocompleter.Local.prototype = Object.extend(new Autocompleter.Base(), { initialize: function(element, updat...

Has anyone been able to make scrollable results for an autocompleter? Thanks!

Any ideas how I can submit say, a person ID instead of the person''s name on an autocompleter input field? Surely this is a common need. Thanks! Daniel

Hi all, I have used the sciptaculous Ajax autocompleter a few times now. A major problem I have at the moment is with a text field that has focus when a page loads. The text field has an autocompleter associated with it, but when the user starts typing, the firefox saved form data autocompleter appears first, and the scriptaculous one is partially hi...

Hey, I''m able to duplicate everything in Ryan Bates'' screencast on jQueryUI autocomplete (#102<http://railscasts.com/episodes/102-auto-complete-association-revised>), except for the piece that calls the server for completion data. Here is my view html: <input data-autocomplete-source="/searches" id="search-markets" name="search-markets" placeh...

When using the autocompleter and scrolling through options, if you press the up arrow key the input field cursor moves backward. Some of my users have reported that they find this very distracting. Does anyone know why this happens, or where in the code I could fix it? Steps to recreate: 1. Go to http://demo.script.aculo.us/...

Hi, I needing to modify the control.js file and am confused about what the purpose of the getToken function is. I read the docs section below and still don''t understand why it doesn''t just access the form.value directly. Docs say: This method should get the text for which to provide autocompletion by invoking this.getToken(), NOT by directly accessing this.element.value. This is

Hi list, Hi all, In Google Bookmark and GMail -f.ex.-, autocompletion would help you enter multiple values in 1 field, separated by commas. Is there such a solution available somewhere? This is necessary for the acts_as_taggable plugin, to let people enter many tags in one file ex: "rails, ruby, plugin" but with the help of some AJAX magic. Without it, people have no clue about

I''ve got a search field on my site that uses an autocomplete to match against search terms already input by the same user. That''s working perfectly. However, I''d like to provide a little button next to the search field that triggers the autocomplete, so that the users can "browse" the list of past search terms. This behavior wo...

I copied an exact copy of "http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter" to my harddisc inclusive all .js and .css. Then I changed "new Ajax.Autocompleter(''contact_name'', ''contact_name_auto_complete'', ''/ajax/auto_complete_for_contact_name'', {})" to "new Ajax.Autocompleter(''contact_n...

Hi, In the last two days I posted 4 different questions to this forums, but no single answer... Is it personal ? ;-) Anywayz I continue trying, so maybe I have luck this time... The question: in an autocomplete component, is it possible to make the results-div apear when the text field is getting focus? Thanx in advance, Ron

Hi All, I am currently using script.aculo.us and Autocompleter for a project which I am dealing now. I faced a situation for which I couldnt find any solution and I could not see any reference regarding this issue in the enhancement/bug lists of script.aculo.us either. Autocompleter component is working perfectly, if the information returned from the server...

I was wondering whether somebody could point me to some documentation on how I would convert a moofx class to scriptaculous. Please see this very basic class: fx.ScrollThumbs = Class.create(); fx.ScrollThumbs.prototype = Object.extend(new fx.Base(), { initialize: function(el, options) { this.el = $(el);

Hi all, Firstly is there a way to search the archives? Second I was wondering if there is a way to implement a scrollbar on the list that occurs when you use autocomplete. I have some lists that are very long so I would like to shorten them but still have all the options.

When I upgraded to 1.0, I broke autocomplete on a field. I''ve done everything that I can think of to fix the problem, but nothing has worked. I''m able to recreate a simple autocomplete from examples on the various tutorials, but my original code just will not work. <input id="incident_first_party_name" nam...
