similar to: Autocompleter quirk and my proposed fix.

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/ajax/autocompleter 2. Type in a letter (or two or three) 3. Arrow down

Hi list: I''m a young developer that need a little help with scriptaculous "Autocompleter". I work with PRADO framework (http://www.xisc.com) and PHP as a script language. Now this is a little function in JavaScript for make a AJAX call and show the results without reload the entire page.

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

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

I was wondering if someone could help me with an autocomplete problem. I have the autocomplete div receiving a <UL> that looks like: <ul> <li>Name<br>Email</li> </ul> When the user hits enter and the value is filled into the text field it''s putting both the name and email in the field. I just want the name. Funny this works in Firefox but not IE. I

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, I''m new to all this so if this is a daft question sorry. I''m using Ajax Autocomplete to populate a search box with likely matches. These results need to be filtered by an option from a select box that is alongside the search box. As the current Autocomplete function only takes in one id to post to the search file, i figured i could post more stuff to the Ajax.Autocompleter

Anyone run into the problem where the autocomplete results div disappears when you click or click/drag on the scroll bars for the div? -- David Fitzhenry - http://fitzhenrys.blogspot.com http://www.gone2far.com _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org

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, 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.

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 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

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, 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

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

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! 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();
