Hey. Below is a patch to allow generic Ajax.Autocompleters. Basically it''s for people who wanna be able to watch an input for changes, but don''t want it to pop up an autocompleter box below. Useful for live previews, that kind of thing. Someone''s gonna have to fix the tabstops. I couldn''t be arse to work out how to make vim do the softtabs properly. Spaces for

I''m trying to pass additional variables to my autocomplete data page. I used the parameters option but this only sends a static variable (i.e. I can''t do something like parameters:"param1="+$ (''checkbox1'').checked). I thought I could fix this by calling a new Ajax.Autocompleter every time the checkbox was clicked but that just created duplicate

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

I have two issues that I hope someone else has encountered and has a solution for. First: I have several autocompleters on my site, and they function as expected in Firefox, Opera, IE7, but when I use them in IE6, I get no javascript errors for my local autocompleters, and all ajax autocompleters functions are firing as expected and returning the correct search results. The only problem, IE6

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, update, array, options) { window.alert("GOT

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 hidden behind it. Has anyone else encountered

Hello, currently I''m working on a JavaScript-on-screen-keyboard for use with touch screens. To autocomplete inputs I want to use the Ajax.Autocompleter control. The problem is that Ajax.Autocompleter only responds to onkeypress events made with a real keyboard, but my on-screen-keyboard causes onchange events when a letter is clicked and appended to the input field. So, is there a way to

Hi all, I''ve noticed slightly erratic behaviour with the autocompleter on IE. In controls.js, the render method calls the (IE only) scrollIntoView method, which causes the element to be moved to the bottom or the top of the viewport (by passing in true or false, bizzarely). This is perfectly acceptable behaviour for render in general, but this causes the dropdown list to jump around as

Hi Rails, I am having trouble setting up an autocomplete text field. Using rails 1.0.0 and just trying to copy the simple scriptaculous demo (http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter) fails. My view and controller are set up the same way. In firefox 1.0.4 (and safari, don''t remember the version) I get the Ajax.Autocompleter error in the javascript console when loading the

Hello, I was wondering how to get the Ajax.Autocompleter to behave more like Autocompleter.Local where it narrows the drop down as you type. The local autocompleter seems to exhibit this behavior naturally. Am I missing an argument somewhere? Joe _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list

Hi All Is there any way to pass a dynamic parameter do AutoCompleter URL? I want to pass the current text on autocompleter input field plus a parameter "last", with data from field "last" When i try to use "parameters" option, they get only first value of field "last", not dynamicaly. Thanks.

Hello, Is it possible to send the current value of a second form element with the AJAX request on the Autocompleter? At the moment, I initialise the Autocompleter on page load, so any parameters passed in the constructor are given the value set at page load time. I need to obviously pass in the value of the second form element when the autocompleter is called. Does this function already exist,

I have been working with the Ajax.Autocompleter for about a day so forgive my ignorance. Is there any value in adding additional callbacks. I want perform an action when the user selects a choice. So I was thinking of adding an option {select: function(selectedElement) {}} similar to the callbacks on Ajax.Request in the prototype library. Call me out if you think I am crazy my feelings

Running Scriptaculous 1.8.1 I''m experiencing an issue with the autocompleter. As part of a search page, I''ve added and autocomplete field. During entering text, the first entry in the autocomplete list is automatically selected- once the user hits enter (regardless if that is the entry he''s looking for or not), the form is submitted. I''m looking for a way to

Hi! I got a Autocompleter on my page and its working fine. For mouse-users I need a button which triggers the Autocomplete. I tried a this.getUpdatedChoices(); and it starts a request, but it doesn''t seem to handle the response. ---------------------------------------------- Ajax.TriggerableAutocompleter = Class.create();

> the scriptaculous autocompleter already does this. I don''t think so ? What I mean is if the user moves through the results using the arrows keys and the results div is bigger than the screen height, then trigger scrolling on the results div itself ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi All Before I investigate further, has anyone implemented an

Hello, I have a problem with the AutoCompleter, specifically the div that holds the return values. It doesn''t get hidden until the page has correctly loaded, so in a page that makes cross-server JS calls the div is visible, and covers content, while the page is loading fully. I managed to circumvent this problem in Mozilla by specifying the visibility of the div in a CSS document to

hi, i''d like to create an Ajax.Autocompleter with paging... my basic idea is to use the afterUpdateElement to check if the selected item has a attribute telling it to make a new ajax call... my problem is, that i have no clue how to trigger the getUpdatedChoices of my ajax.autocompleter from within the afterUpdateElement function, nor how to set an

Hi, I''m using internet explorer 6.0 and I''ve written a web application that use script.aculo.us 1.6.4. When I use the Autocompleter function with tokens "," and an image indicator the cpu of the pc goes to 100% after some choose of elements randomly. The command is: new Ajax.Autocompleter(''ckeywords'', ''autocomplete_keywords'',

Hello, I am using the AutoCompleter to great effect. However, the site design I have been constrained by has <select> elements/drop down boxes below the AutoCompleter field. This means that in Internet Explorer 6 the drop down elements appear on top of the floating DIV when rendered in the browser. Mozilla floats the DIV on top of the select elements as expected.
