Does anyone have a library or patch to call a handler if a user leaves an autocomplete field without choosing one of the autocomplete options - i.e. they've entered free text. I'm working with an app that populates multiple fields from a single auto-complete value, and our latest requirement is to clear out a bunch of fields if the user's entered something manually - rejecting autocomplete suggestions. My initial attempts at hooking into onkeyfoo and onblur haven't lead anywhere productive, and I'm hoping someone else has managed to overcome the gnarly event and timing dependencies involved with onkeyfoo and blur being used for standard autocomplete behaviour.
While using jQuery, I found that I needed to know how many records were returned and also if the result set returned was empty. After searching the jQuery documentation I couldn't find any property or method that returned this value, so I've added that functionality myself and wanted to share it with the group.
1) Determine the number of records returned: I wanted to show the user how many results were returned after they start typing into the autocomplete field similar to how Google indicates the number of results found when you start typing in the search box. At first I thought the max parameter in the function formatItem returned this value. However, it returns the max option that you set it to. So if your query returns 100 records and you set max to 25, it'll obviously return 25 (not what I wanted).So after trying various things, I looked at the jQuery code and simply added the number of records returned by the database to the formateItem function. In the fillList() function around line 660 I added the data.length parameter:
var formatted = options.formatItem(data[i].data, i+1, max, data [i].value, term, data.length);And in my autocomplete code, I added the parameter to the end of theparam list:formatItem: function(data, i, total, value, searchTerm, totalResults)So now whenever a new search is preformed, I get back the number ofsearch result from the database.
2) Determine if a result set returned was empty I wanted to update a <div> with a message like "no records found" whenever the query yielded no results. Again, after searching the jQuery documentation, I couldn't find any property or method that would indicate this so I added it to the code. In the request function after the line var data = cache.load(term); I added the following:
I have found two jquery plugins and i am trying to combine an action but to no avail. what i want to do is after selecting an item from the auto complete box i would like for it then to do a change function and retrieve details. Here are my 2 pieces of code.
I am trying to create a web application using ASP.NET MVC and I want add auto complete functionality to one of my text box. So I have added below C# code into my HomeController class to return the data as JSON objects.
public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index()
I'm trying to get Joerns awesome autocomplete-plugin to work with UTF-8 but I've had no luck in making it work. Has anyone managed to query the backend using UTF-8 encodend characters?
Right now I'm trying my best to decode the incoming string ie "q=Östman" but nothing happens? Do I need to encode the returned string as well?
I have the following question: What event could be or is triggered when someone fills in a inputfield using the autosuggest that is build in in browsers? Like for example my email that always comes back on email input fields. I have tried the change and keyup event but they don't work. What event could be or is triggered when someone fills in a inputfield using the autosuggest that is build in by browsers.
I have a coldfusion data component that receives two arguments and runs a stored procedure and returns a large data set. I want to use a textbox with autocomplete its data is that result set. I do not want to convert the result set to an array for performance.
I am implementing an "auto complete search box" much like the one Google uses. If you notice on Google, if you type a letter and the drop down box appears with the predicted terms, you are able to navigate in and select from those terms using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
In my implementation, the drop down box is really just a DIV. It is separate from the search box. How do I replicate the Google behavior?
I've just started using the jQuery Autocomplete plugin [URL]I get my completions from a serverside service. Currently I'm using the option selectFirst: false. When I'm using Enter without selecting from the completion list, this submits my form. This is fine, but the displayed completions stay visible after submit. How can I hide displayed completions when hitting Enter without selecting a entry? (As expected, displayed completion list disappear when selecting a entry and hit Enter or Tab)
I've started working with the jQuery UI 1.8 Autcomplete recently with remote data. I was pleased with the ease of initial implementation, but before long I ran into a classic race condition.As I type, the search query gets more specific, so it takes less time for the server respond. As a consequence, it is possible for the old response to arrive after the most recent one. Obviously, this is producing undesirable effects.I'm a little frustrated that the plugin doesn't have a way to manage this. To me, it seems that it makes the "basic" remote data implementation unreliable in most real-world situations. It also seems as though this would be a common problem, but I've found very little literature on it.
I've found that autocomplete is a relatively new addtion to jQuery UI, so I've put the frustration aside and started my own widget which extends autocomplete to solve for three things: 1) race conditions; 2) animated open/close; 3) caching.The nature of this post is two-fold. Not only to share information I've gathered on the topic of race conditions with others who might be having the same trouble, but to (hopefully) gain some insight to how other people are solving for this.The first piece of this puzzle was that $.ajax() (and related methods) return an XMLHTTPRequest instance. As described at stackoverflow.com, this grants us the ability to use XMLHTTPRequest.abort() method. So I just keep a handle to the XMLHTTPRequest instance, and if it exists, call abort() before the next request is made.Using a firebug, I could see that the requests were being aborted as expected and the symptoms of the race-condition ceased. So far, so good... then I got to IE. Not so much.In IE, I was seeing run-time errors. The odd thing is that the run-time errors seemed to be coming from deep within jQuery UI, rather than my code yet commenting out the abort() avoided the run-times. After scratching my head for a while, I used the following simplified code to shed some light on the situation:[code]
In Firefox and Chrome, behavior is as expected - no alert box. However, in IE6 and IE8 (IE7 untested at this time), the success handler still fires! As it turns out, the run-time errors were because the response was undefined as it got passed through my success code path. My next thought was, "maybe I can just evaluate textStatus". Unfortunately, it turns out (as seen in the alert box) it contains the string "success".
I am using jquery autocomplete combobox I load more than 25000 data. I set minLength:3, delay: 700, When I start typing three characters, in the third character ie8 shows the "Stop running this script" how to handle this huge amount of data
I'm about to embark on developing a class which, given a field name and server-side script, will "auto-complete" or "suggest" entries already entered in the database.
