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?
Does anybody know why doesn't onkeypress catch up/down arrow keys
while it catches left/right arrows? My only supposition is that up/
down keys are used for moving between form elements, anyway does
anybody know any solution to this problem?
I have a little problem that i hope can be solved. You start to type in an <input> field and a list of results show based on what you type, I have a list of Airports in MySQL that is check for LIKE of what is typed in and the matches show that can be selected. But you can only scroll with the mouse and not the arrow keys.
Does anyone know how I may allow arrow keys as well as the mouse to select their choice?
Disable Arrow Keys I am creating an online flash gaming site, Aaron's Game Zone: [URL]Some of the games on it use the arrow keys, however IE also uses them to scroll the page.

I have three buttons on a typical page (sample page: [URL].. One goes to the previous page, one to the next, and one up a level.

I can code simple html, but don't know javascript.

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.
A client would like me to implement spreadsheet-style form traversal using the arrow keys on a keyboard, i.e. left arrow would submit the entry for that field and then move left by one field on the form.
The form is managed by my PHP code. Does anyone have a browser-independent method of doing this please?
All input fields in the form are single line text fields.
I am using the jquery autocomplete pugin fromhttp://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/
I need to perform an action if no data is returned from the autocomplete search but there seems sto be no way to do that. Any ideas pls?
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.

The paste event does fire with both keyboard and mouse, but for some reason it's not triggering the autocomplete, but again - Only with the mouse paste.

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]..
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

I am trying to setup a textbox to only accept specific keys. The problem is, some of the Function keys are reading as the same values as letters.Ex.

Is there another way to allow the function keys without enabling all matching letters as well?
I am making a php/mysql epos system for my shop which will be run from a browser on my shop PC.

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.
