similar to: Ajax.autocompleter does not narrow down choices

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 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

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

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,

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

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 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 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

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

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,

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 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

Joe, After removing all occurrences of charset=utf-8 from my headers I am still getting the same bug in IE. Currently, it''s Content-Type: text/html Any other suggestion?

Hi all, Can anyone confirm if anything has changed in Ajax.Autocompleter (or Autocompleter[.Base]) in 1.5.1 since 1.5? I've updated to this version and either something has changed (unlikely) or I've made a change somewhere that's borked it (much more likely). Events aren't firing on the text box when I enter input or blur away from the control ... Many thanks! Regards, Cam

Howdy... How can the text be formated on the downloadable sample (\scriptaculous-js-1.6.1\test\functional\ajax_autocompleter2_test.html)? In your downloadable demo... the format of the drop down (in the txt area) is a ordered list.. where and how is this formatted? and is it possible to use a CSS on it? If so.. how would i do that? I like the formatting you have on your demo

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.
