I want to create an autocomplete text field that when you type in (some of) a users name, it pops up the portrait image associated to that user on the left hand side, which can then be dragged away in to a Sortable.Droppable element adding that member to your team... I can get the results to display, but not where I want them. They are always in a list below the textbox. 1) possible? 2) Do the

Hi, Going thru autocompletion results (using arrows) makes page move. See here: http://joost.glasch.nl/moving_autocompletion.mov The page scrolls (moves) when you use the up-arrow & there is a scrollbar on the page. This happens in FireFox 2, IE7, etc.. The movie shows the function test comming with scriptaculous, it happens when you make your browser window smaller (as in movie) but also

Hi, I am using the autocomplete for text field with ''Scriptaculous'' and it works perfectly fine in "new" action. All the examples I see are only for the "new" action. But doesn''t default to the selected value/text in "edit/show" action? Is this possible or should I write custom code for "edit/show" action? Thanks, Hari --

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, 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

I am trying to get more out of auto_complete than it apparently was designed to deliver. My problems seem to be two fold. 1 - I use aggregations on names... :first_name, :middle_initial, :last_name and then aggregate them using a composed_of :wholename thing auto_complete_for seems to be wired to only use table columns directly and gags on the aggregate form. 2 - foreign table columns -

Hi all, I''m looking for some insight on why my text_field_with_auto_complete might not work in Internet Explorer. I''m using it in a fairly simple way, without much customization. I''ve broken it down and made a test page at http://realty.colemanation.org/houses/test which shows the behavior I''m having problems with. For me on Windows XP this page works

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

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

Hi folks, I''m curious how a lookup with a large group of values would be handled in Rails. For example, I have a (contrived) AnimalType filtering a list of many Animals--more than can be presented comfortably in a dropdown box. Therefore I need to either redirect to another screen to select an animal (returning after the selection is made), or show a dialog--modal or otherwise--to

I was wondering whether somebody could point me to some documentation on how I would convert a moofx class to scriptaculous. Please see this very basic class: fx.ScrollThumbs = Class.create(); fx.ScrollThumbs.prototype = Object.extend(new fx.Base(), { initialize: function(el, options) { this.el = $(el);

Hello everybody. I''m wondering if there is away with scriptaculous to update multiple form fields with data after finishing an autocomplete request. Heres an example. Joe BlowSchmoe fills in his name and starts to type in the customer number, he selects the approprate customer number from autocomplete list, and bam the address associated with the customer number is populated into the

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Here is what i am trying to do (code to follow). I have a form to create a new book. This book can have many authors and I wanted to be able to add the authors based on if they appear in the authors table. I originally was going about it a long and arduous way where I had several forms. After thinking about it I decided to dynamically add new fields to

I recently updated to version 1.5_pre4 to use the excellent in-place editor, however, I''m now seeing a bug with AutoCompletion. When text is entered in the text field for auto completion, the auto_complete div is not updated (but the server does receive the request and return a response). Upon removing focus from the text field, 2 instances of the following error can be seen in both

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

Hello All, I''m a RoR newbiew, trying to experiment with Autocomplete, but I''m having some difficulties. When I start typing in my input box, instead of getting a nice drop down, the styling on my page is getting all out of wack (ie my background colours change, link styling changes, etc) and I''m not seeing any autcompletion data. Here are the steps I''ve taken

Has anyone extended the Autocompleter to do multiple auto-completes in a single input field? I''m looking to achieve similar functionality to the del.icio.us <http://del.icio.us> post page which allows multiple auto-completes of tag names in the tags input field. cheers, Rob -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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

Hello, I just can''t seem to find a way to extend a form dynamically in ROR. Say I am writing a recipe website. There is one form to enter the recipe. There is room for N number of ingredients (let''s say a text field for each ingredient name and selection list for the amount). What if the user wants to add more than N ingredients as he types them in? how do I do this without
