similar to: triggering select in autocompleter

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

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();

I''ve got a search field on my site that uses an autocomplete to match against search terms already input by the same user. That''s working perfectly. However, I''d like to provide a little button next to the search field that triggers the autocomplete, so that the users can "browse" the list of past search terms. This behavior would be in addition to the

Hi, When I use a "," token to enable multiple input, each choice is added in its own line. When using a normal <input type="text"...> I would expect it to leave the linebreaks alone. Is there a workaround for this one? Cheers, Ron

Hi, I add a div to my document and use an effect to make it apear gracefully. Unfortunatly, when adding the element, the element apears shortly, then the effect (slideDown) lets it apear nicely - so the page flickers abit - What is the best practice to avoid it? Cheers, Ron

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"

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

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 values from a list. Might even be fed by a regular select tags (with options), or by an AJAX call.

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. See below: 1 function makeRequest(url,element) { 2 var http_request = false; 3 if

Hello, I am using the AutoCompleter to great effect. However, the site design I have been constrained by has <select> elements/drop down boxes below the AutoCompleter field. This means that in Internet Explorer 6 the drop down elements appear on top of the floating DIV when rendered in the browser. Mozilla floats the DIV on top of the select elements as expected. Has anyone encountered,

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 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

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

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 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

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

Hello All, I''ve run across something that looks like a bug and wanted to throw it out there for anyone else''s input before I submit a bug report and patch. This is only observed in Safari 2.0.3 with Mac OS X 10.4.5 - I haven''t tried any other versions of Safari. I''ve got 2 fields: text input 1 text input 2 with autocomplete If you: 1. Enter some value

I noticed that the latest control.js disables auto complete: this.element.setAttribute(''autocomplete'',''off''); So I removed my inline "autocomplete=''off''" from my input fields. But Firefox still auto completes. Using the Firefox DOM Inspector I do see that it''s applied by Ajax.Autocompleter as expected. The Inspector

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, 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
