similar to: textfield_with_auto_complete - filling two fields

Hi, I''m wondering if it is possible to pass an extra value (which I will use to further restrict my query) using text_field_with_auto_complete? Any suggestions would be appreciated! -Mike

Hi, I''m using scriptaculous to provide an auto complete textbox - and it works perfectly - but I was wondering if there was anyway to let users navigate the choices using the keyboard i.e the curor keys as opposed to having to use the mouse? Apart from that it''s perfect! :) Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using the acts_as_taggable gem (who''s site has gone AWOL apparently) and I''m wanting to make it autocomplete. I, however, am the absolute worst JavaScript person ever, so is there anyone out there that can point me to a tutorial or give some good starting points? Thanks!

I am furiously trying to find what I am looking for in Pickaxe book and not finding it. I''m getting some values back from a posted form and I need to get the ''id'' number off the backend. The ''String'' will always come back to me as... Some_name\r\n123 where 123 is actually the id number which I need to execute the find. The reason they are coming back

Hi everyone, I need to trigger a Rails action after the autocompletion is completed (when the user has selected an option). From the scriptaculous doc, I figured out ''afterUpdateElement'' is the place to be but I wonder if/how and where I can hook my javascript code to this event in Rails code (I''d like to keep using the helper, if possible)? I tried passing many

I need to pass a parameter in my text_field_with_auto_complete and am struggling to discover how to do this. I have something like this: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ''user'', ''username'', {}, {:with => "''post=''@company_title.id"} %> but because it is in a partial that pops as a result from a remote_function_tag, I am

Folks, I am trying to upgrade code base from 1.3.x to 2.3.2 and not surprisingly, lot of things are broken. ''text_field_with_auto_complete'' is not working for me - it gives the following error: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `text_field_with_auto_complete'' for #<ActionView::Base: 0x7f0ceb6b8290>) I already have installed auto_complete - ruby

Hi everybody, I''d like to add a custom action to be triggered after/when an autocompleted field has been/is beeing updated by the autocompletion process. I tried the obvious - a field observer -, but it doesn''t work (see code below). I know I could write the autocompletion code myself, but I wonder if there is a simpler/more elegant way? Any idea? TIA Alain The

I''m using the auto_complete plugin, and it works great, my problem is i need to pass multiple parameters to the controller other that what is typed in the text field. <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :search, :contains, :size => 15, :frequency => 0.1, :skip_style => true -%> This is what i have as of now, but i also need to pass ":language => @default"

I have a a basic prototype coded: #view <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :student, :last_name, { :size => 15 }, :after_update_element => "alert(''hello world'');" %> #controller class ScoresController < ApplicationController auto_complete_for :student, :last_name end If I take out the :after_update_element option everything works as advertised.

Good afertnoon. I''m trying to use a mouse over event: Event.observe("name_auto_complete", "mouseover", function(){alert("auto_complete")} ); with the auto_complete_field bellow. <%= text_field_tag("name") %> <%= content_tag("div", "", "id" => "name_auto_complete") %> <%=

Trying to use Amy Hoy''s ajaxariffic auto_complete methodology and I am getting really close to the end. This is fairly complicated but I will simplify as best I can. My view code is simple... <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ''client'', ''wholename'' %> # wholename is not a column in ''clients'' but rather represents an

I''m doing this ''partial'' to do some ajax auto_complete <ul class="placements"> <% for client in @clients do -%> <li class="placements"> <div class="clwholename"><%=h client.clwholename %></div> <div class="id><span class="informal"><%= client.id

When using url_for to send path to a script (such as with auto_complete), multiple params are joined with the "&amp;" code. For example: text_field_with_auto_complete :blog :post, {}, { :posts_path(:a => 1, :b => 2), :method => :get } Produces this script: var blog_post_auto_completer = new Ajax.Autocompleter(''blog_post'',

OK - I know this has been asked before, but I cannot find it in the archives. Forgive me if I''m creating more noise than I should. I want to know the easiest way to deal with this scenario: I have articles. I have categories for the articles. On the form where you write an article, there needs to be a free-form field to entire the category. The create() method will build the

Good day. I have searched on the net and through the archives to now avail as of yet. I have a text_field_with_auto_complete that searches for company names. These company names obviously can have an ''&'' in the name of the company (example Barnes & Nobel). The auto complete works beautifully. However, the problem arises when I pass the name of the company to the

Hi, I am trying to use text_field_with_auto_complete, it works fine but when I click on an item (even if I use the up and down key and then type enter) th search panel disappears but the selected results is not shown in the text field. Even more, the text field becomes empty. Any idea? Thanks S?bastien -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

I have a crude hack to allow auto_complete to work with indexed text fields. I needed it for a timecard entry form with an arbtirary number of records which can be added/changed/delete willy-nilly by users. One of the fields is a perfect candidate for autocomplete since it references a database object with a large number of choices and long descriptions. Using a select list is extremely ugly in
