similar to: Ajax.Autocompleter feature enhancement

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 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

Hi All: I have a very large user table, more than 2.000, so i cant use a <select> to present the users list any more. I replace the <select> with a <input> using Ajax.Autocompleter If we type "john" or "peter" we still get a very long list, so the list shows the scroll bar, and its ok. The problem is that when we try to scroll, the list fades out. It

Patch to allow generic Ajax.Autocompleter-style textbox watchers.

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 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

Hi (I think Thomas?), I am trying to extending the AJAX autocompleter here, and would need to pass on additional params to the Framework I am using which is taking on the request. For this, I have changed the onObserverEvent function in controls.js as to the following: onObserverEvent: function() { this.changed = false; if(this.element.value.length>=this.options.min_chars) {

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

What is the best way to show that Autocompleter is searching for the dropdown list. It is taking several seconds to load the list deco

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 HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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

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

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

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 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

Hey all, When using the Ajax.autocompleter, how would I configure it so that the user is searching based on an entry''s name, but once they select an entry, I record the ID? I have the user entering a person''s name in a text box to make it easier to find contacts in a large database. I know that I can display content that doesn''t end up in the textbox by using

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 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

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
