similar to: 100% CPU after update in Autocompleter field

Hello, I''ve looked at a few autocompleters, and really like Script.aculo.us''. I have two suggestions for making it even better: 1) Make the default HTTP method GET, or at least clearly document how to change it (through the prototype options). This will make it possible for the browser as well as intermediaries to cache the results. 2) Make it easier to control the URIs that

Hi list, First, I have a textbox "username". I also have an Autocompleter'd textbox called "products". Is there a "built in" way to have the Autocompleter's Ajax Request pass the value in the "username" field ? (I tried adding "parameters: $F('username')" to the Autocompleter's options, but, that grabs the initial username

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 does not exceed ~1000 LIs.

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

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

Tommy, Every time the Autocomplete results is blur()'d, it adds another onblur event observer (because of "Event.observe(this.update, "blur", this.onBlur.bindAsEventListener(this),true); // make sure blur is still around on") which leads to a performance problem / memory leak. (Commenting it out seems to fix this problem.) I was wondering why it was there? Thanks again,

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! 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();

Hey guys, I have a field that will have very few autocomplete options. I have an ajax.autocompleter on it that works great, but I wanted to make it start autocompleting as soon as the field is blur()ed, so that even if the field is empty, the list will still appear. Like a combo box in windows. How can I do this? Setting :min_chars => 0 (or even -1) didn''t work... -Josh

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 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

Hi Ed The reason it adds a new onblur is because when you click the scrollbar the event is gone. I dont know why and how to prevent it, but without adding it back the onblur does not get triggered and the layer does not hide when you click somewhere else on the page. If anyone finds a better solution, please provide a patch. I still have not been able to make the blur work on Safari, so Thomas

I have a page (generated by PHP) that has an Ajax.AutoCompleter on it. IF I run the page without running DBG (a PHP debugger) it works fine. The autocomplete fires and fills in just as expected BUT when I run it WITH the debugger it never displays. I THINK it has to do with either cookies OR caching... The additional headers headers from a debugged instance Set-Cookie

Hi, I wrote yesterday ( http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails-spinoffs/2005-November/001307.h tml ), but with no replies. This mail is not to spam, just a further clarification of the problem: This little bit of code illustrates the problem: <script language="javascript"> function ac(elm) { var val = $F(''val''); new

Hi, I have implemented the Ajax.Autocompleter.JSon on a webpage. The JSon array returned contains tokens with multiple words (such as "This is", and "Hello world"). My problem is that I dont get the second word to be highlighted if that is the match, so in the example above, if I write ''wo'' in the box, I will get the "Hello world", but

Hi I was wondering if anybody knows of an extension to the Autocompleter that would allow us to send a JSON object from the server rather than an unordered list? How hard would it be to implement something like that?

I have been trying to write a selector function for Autocompleter.Local that will show a predefined Array and will scroll automatically to the first match. I have had success with with getting my list to populate and show all of the choices, however I cannot get it to scroll to the first match. Since I build the JS Array I can know exactly how many items are in the list going into my selector,
