similar to: Autocompletion for <SELECT>

[note: I sent this note to Spinoffs with no takers. Hoping someone here has some advice. Thanx. Jodi] Greetings all. I am looking for an ajax-a-fied select box (single select). Unlike the autocompleter for a text field, it would restrict the entry to only those entries returned. Ala Ticket #2586 [ http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2586 ] "Essentially an autocomplete that only allows

I made a small patch to controls.js. I moved the line this.element.focus() from the end of selectEntry() to the end of updateElement(). The rationale is that if the user uses the options hash to override updateElement, he/she can choose which element to focus next, instead of being forced to the default. You can see an example on the wiki page (still under construction)

the div list of words doesn''t get updated # controller class Words < R ''/words'' def get ("word01".."word20").each{|w| (@words ||='''') << "<li>#{w}</li>"} render :_list @words end end #views # def layout html do head do link :rel

How do you pass the selected value to the function? new Ajax.Autocompleter(''text'', ''auto'', ''file'', {paramName:''autocomplete'', updateElement:sayhi}); function sayhi(???){ alert(???); } I''ve tried element and element.value but that didn''t work. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

In the customized autocomplete demo, how does it know what content to use as the value of the autocomplete? The returned UL has the name, email address and an image. Yet only the name is used. How does it do this? I''ve been trying to get something similar going all morning with little success. Also, what does :skip_style=>true do? I couldn''t seem to find a mention of it

Heya, I''ve just released script.aculo.us V1.5_pre1. Please give it a try! Important new stuff (since V1.1b1): * Added a main scriptaculous.js file to load in the other libraries transparently. * Fixed a condition where standard a href=xxx links wouldn''t work in autocomplete results. These do now, the onclick event is not cancelled. [thx to Jasper Slits] * Added

I''ve posted a patch for support the AutoCompleter updateElement option allowing the auto_complete plugin to customize the behavior of the auto completion. I required this to fix my app and it is deployed in production. Patch is dead simple and should be a quick sign off for anyone using the plugin. -- Gabe da Silveira http://darwinweb.net

Having read over the ruby pdf generation (simple reporting) options, I think Pdf::Writer will do just fine... ..if the following is possible On page 13 of (the really expansive) ::Writer manual, Replacement Tags are detailed. Before I jump into this tomorrow, I''m hoping for some triage sage advice. Finally, the question : "Would utilizing Replacement Tags be a suitable

Hi, I am using scriptaculous ajax autocompletion (not local autocompletion). I have 2 questions: 1 - The database query being sent to the server always has LIMIT 10. I don''t want to have a limit, but I just can''t for the life of me find where this limit is set in the code. I did see "choices: 10" in controls.js but that''s for autocompleter.Local, which I

So I was doing some experimenting with prototype and ajax and discovered something interesting. When I use the first ajax call the response from the server take 53ms. When I use the second on using the prototype functions the request from the server is over 200ms. My question is why, and can it be fixed? <p><a href="#" onclick="serverSideAlert();">Call

I just put a new plugin named branchable_migrations on Github. Branchable migrations lets you separate your migrations into "branches" (i.e., a director under db/migrate) that each have their own version. Using the forthcoming UTC timestamped migrations and this plugin, you can separate migrations by table or feature. Doing so should alleviate many of the problems that seem to pike up

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

Good day. Currently I have a system that will successfully add a row to a table. Each row in this table will represent a new product being added to a purchase order. The user can enter a quantity and then select a product code. The product code is the auto_complete field. This field works. However, once the user selects a product code then the values for the product description, buy price, and

Hi list, Hi all, In Google Bookmark and GMail -f.ex.-, autocompletion would help you enter multiple values in 1 field, separated by commas. Is there such a solution available somewhere? This is necessary for the acts_as_taggable plugin, to let people enter many tags in one file ex: "rails, ruby, plugin" but with the help of some AJAX magic. Without it, people have no clue about

Dear all: I got the error in my rails 2.2.2 project on ma os x leopard. i did as follow: script/plugin install auto_complete but when i start the server and try to approach the page which used the auto_complete, it can''t find the helper method as the error told: "undefined method `text_field_with_auto_complete'' ", than i try this in script/console helper.methods i

Hey there, I know this isn''t a pdf::writer list - If there''s a more appropriate place for me to ask these questions I''d appreciate being set straight. I''m having a couple of misunderstandings/isssues first with page numbers and secondly with auto-wrapping of simple_table. First pdf.start_page_numbering(pdf.margin_x_middle, pdf.absolute_bottom_margin, 9,

I''m using the autocomplete function, and need a way to grab a second value from the ajax request... an example would probably speak better: This is my HTML: <input name="CustomerName" id="CustomerName" type="text" /> <div id="CustomerList"></div> <input name="CustomerID" id="CustomerID"

Hi, Does anyone have any tips for running a patched version of rails? I am currently running rails 1.2.2 and would like to keep up to date with any future releases.

Any tips/pointers would be very much appreciated. Thanks, GiantCranes

Hi, I have a really dumb qustion, but I can''t find an answer in "Agile Rails" or any other hand holder. And, it is a difficult topic to search for in google. What controller/view is used for the home page of a site? I get how to create new controllers, but I don''t get at all how to change content on the home page. thanks, matt On 12/14/05, Austin Ziegler
