Search Box Autocomplete - Keyboard Selection Using Arrow Keys

Apr 26, 2010

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?

Disable Up / Down Arrow Keys In Mozilla Firefox Browser

Aug 21, 2009

I got this problem while disabling Up/Down arrow keys in Mozilla firefox browser useing javascript Given a standard HTML select/option box, I can capture any keypress while the select has focus and stop the select�s option list from changing values in IE but not in Mozilla.

[Code]....

In IE and Mozilla I have no trouble capturing the keyCode, and in IE I can prevent pressing a letter "D" and Up/Down arrows from making the list move to Dead, but the select list will drop to �Dead� in Mozilla. I've tried attaching the event handler to keyup, keydown and keypress, but have yet to find a way in Mozila to capture the keypress and prevent the select list from changing the current selection.

All input fields in the form are single line text fields.

JQuery :: Autocomplete - Textarea Up And Down Arrow Key Usability

Jun 3, 2009

The autocomplete plugins disables the use of the up and down arrow keys. In a single line input area this is not an issue, but on a textarea it is very noticeable (especially if you are a poor-spller like I am). I think the arrow keys should only be overridden when the autocomplete "drop-down" is visible. As an example fill the "Multiple Birds (remote)" example at [URL] with "Birds can be found all over the wurld, some such birds are:" now try and use the arrow keys to go back and fix the errors.

JQuery :: Autocomplete: Implement Result() To Link A Selection?

Sep 3, 2009

I have autocomplete working for a list of colors(red, green, blue, etc). I created an array of $id's to match each color. For example if someone types and selects "red", I want it to go to a page like mypage.php?id=1. How can I (1) parse the ids in the array and (2) implement the result()
function so that it links to a page and posts the proper $id? I have a live example with source code here: [URL].. and if you would be kind enough to be as explicit as you can with examples on how to make an autocomplete result link to a page and pass an $id.[URL]..

JQuery :: Autocomplete Selection Blanks Out Input Field

Jan 11, 2010

I have been using the jquery autocomplete plug-in for some time now and find it very useful. Lately I have come across the following problem in one of my JSP pages. The autocomplete suggestions are displayed and formatted properly. But when I select the one that I want, the result briefly appears in the input field and disappears. Simultaneously, the entered result automatically triggers another jquery search. The contents of my JSP page is given below. The same jquery code works perfectly well with other JSPs.

Code:
<%@ include file="../common/include.jsp" %>
<script>
var cols = []; // column mappings : 0=Last name, 1=First Name,
2=Title, 3 = Employee ID
$
.ready
function { .....

JQuery :: Autocomplete Trigger Event If User Rejects All Autocomplete Options

Aug 11, 2009

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.
