I need to have a toolip-like object which has dynamic content in it. I plan on using scriptaculous with an ajax call to retrieve the content, but I would like to make the popup/tooltip/balloon text look as nice as possible. Does anyone have any examples or anything useful to create a popup like the ones that Google and Netflix have? I''d like to have one which must be

Here''s the basics of what I want to do: If the user selects something from the autocompleting dropdown the use the normal functionality and populate the text box. If the user does not select something, and simply leaves the field, I want it cleared back out to blank. I just can not get the javascript to work to be smart enough to know when something was selected and leave it and when

In my application we have several drop down lists which contain a few hundred items. These lists are completely unmanageable by the customers so we decided to implement a searchable dropdown list using the scriptaculous Autocompleter. The only problem is this type of field allows the user to type in anything they want. What I wanted was a searchable list which does not allow the user to have

Is there a standard way of programmatically firing an event on an element? I think this code works in IE but not FF: myElement.fireEvent(''onclick''); I really only care about IE and FF, but anything else is a bonus. I didn''t see anything in prototype/scriptaculous for this, but I might have missed it. Thanks. Joe Athman

Why do effects that display an element (like Appear or Slide Down) start by displaying the element for a split second and then make the element disappear? _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs

Hi, there is a way to use the html list like <selects> so I can use a text to display information and a value that have the real information to send. like <li > <div id="value> </div> <div id="text> </div> </li> the div text, I will show , and the div value will be the value of my input.... tks

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,

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

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

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

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 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

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();

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

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'',

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

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
