Hey everybody, I am using text field with autocomplete in my posts new action. That works great. Response from autocompleter in firebug: POST http://localhost:3001/posts/auto_complete_for_tag_name 200 OK 68ms but if I use the same in edit action it fails and I got this error. POST http://localhost:3001/posts/781/auto_complete_for_tag_name 404 Not Found 81ms *** POSTS controller: *** def

Hey guys, I have a field that will have very few autocomplete options. I have an ajax.autocompleter on it that works great, but I wanted to make it start autocompleting as soon as the field is blur()ed, so that even if the field is empty, the list will still appear. Like a combo box in windows. How can I do this? Setting :min_chars => 0 (or even -1) didn''t work... -Josh

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 (I think Thomas?), I am trying to extending the AJAX autocompleter here, and would need to pass on additional params to the Framework I am using which is taking on the request. For this, I have changed the onObserverEvent function in controls.js as to the following: onObserverEvent: function() { this.changed = false; if(this.element.value.length>=this.options.min_chars) {

I''m absolutely in love with the incremental autocomplete feature in the new scriptaculous. My one wish would be for some way of disabling the TAB key to prevent users from being able to tab out of an autocompleting textarea. (If they''re using TAB to select the autocomplete choice they end up tabbing straight out of the input field if autocomplete doesn''t find any

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

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, Is it possible to trigger a selection in autocomplete component? Cheers, Ron

I was trying to follow along on the github example (https://github.com/crowdint/rails3-jquery-autocomplete) for building an autocomplete and ran into a small set of problems. I''m not using the exact names of models, but I suppose I could. It''s just a dummy set. For me: Model is Package and attribute is Brand. I don''t understand what the reference to class

I have a form for submission of brand, model, and style. Style belongs_to model, and model belongs_to brand. The form is actually a style submission form, but allows users to create new brands or models as well, should they not exist. What I want is for the autocomplete for ''model'' to populate when an object for ''brand'' is selected in the first text field..

Has anyone tried putting an autocomplete field inside a table? I can do this successfully within FireFox, but in IE, it just doesn''t render the "drop-down" autocomplete div. Unfortunately, I don''t understand enough about why IE doesn''t work to know how to fix it. My autocomplete div CSS is: div.auto_complete { position: fixed; border: 1px solid #eee;

Hi all, I have a page in which a div is updated with some html via Ajax. The returned html contains an autocomplete field. The autocomplete field works but the drop down results div does not get css applied to it so the selections don''t get highlighted when I use the up/down arrows and so I am unable to select from the drop down except for the first item. I have been looking at this in

Hi Rails gals n guys I am trying to enhance the "Lightning-Fast JavaScript Autocompletion" rails recipe. For those that do not have the pdf-book the recipe explains how to use a javascript array for an auto-complete text field. I want to combine this with the in_place_editor call. My current (unworking) code: <!-- Load the array for autocomplete --> <script

If I am using the autocomplete plugin, and I have a text field specified in a form that incorporates autocomplete, such as: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :doctor, :organization, :autocomplete => "off" %> how can I put javascript event handlers to if (e.g. keypress, onchange, etc.) ? WHat I really want to do is call a method in my controller if either: 1. The text field is

I have the scriptaculous autocomplete working perfectly for normal page access. But having problems when combining with AJAX. The page contains a div that is updated dynamically via AJAX. Also the autocomplete field lives within this dynamic region. On first load (normal page access) the autocomplete works fine. However it stops to respond once AJAX updates the region. It seems I am missing

When I upgraded to 1.0, I broke autocomplete on a field. I''ve done everything that I can think of to fix the problem, but nothing has worked. I''m able to recreate a simple autocomplete from examples on the various tutorials, but my original code just will not work. <input id="incident_first_party_name" name="incident[first_party_name]"

hi. i promise this will be my last question for the day. still playing with autocompleter, everything is working ok, but i''m having difficulties accessing just the href attribute of <a> element, which is a child of <li> in the autocomplete response, i.e: <div class ="autocomplete"> <ul> <li><a href

In FF 2.x if you turn off autocomplete on an input field it triggers an undesired side effect. Pressing UP and DOWN now move the cursor to the left and right. This only happens in FF and only with autocomplete off. This does not play well with script.aculo.us AutoCompleters. I need a way to force the cursor to the end of the input string whenever UP or DOWN is pressed. Is this possible? Thanks,

Hi Tim, Thanks for the commentary, you bring a good point to light: I think the asynchronous nature of AJAX needs to be looked at more carefully in our UI assumptions. The key difference between AJAX auto-complete and any other browser/OS autocomplete is that we can''t guarantee having the results ready by the time the user wants to hit TAB. In the old days we used to have everything

Hello everyone, I would like to have the input text highlighted in the autocomplete div (similar to google suggest) Any ideas how I can get this working with the autocomplete class ? Thanks, Shyam
