Select Field Autocomplete
Mar 11, 2005
I have a select form element structured like this:
Code:
<select name="buyer_id">
<option value="1">John Adams</option>
<option value="2">Bill Amos</option>
<option value="3">Fred Boon</option>
...
</select>
The name list is now getting huge and I would like to allow my admins to be able to type in the first few letters of a buyers name and have the select form "find" what the admin is entering. But I need the value of the buyer to be passed as the buyer's id for DB purposes.
I found a script on these forums that actually does what I want using a <select> field, but there is one little annoyance with it. Whenever a letter key is pressed, the <select> finds the first occurrence of the letter (as usual with a <select> field). It does come back immediately, but it doesn't look good when you are typing through the options and it keeps flashing from one to the other. Code:

I'm using jquery autocomplete to fill a textbox with some text but I need to get the ID of the item too. For this purpose I thought to use the on select event to fill an hidden field the problem is that the on select event is never fired.
This is my code
$(function() {
$('input#<%= tblNewInsert.FindControl("nazioni").ClientID %>').autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: "offerte.aspx/fillJson",
data: "{ 'descrizione': '" + request.term + "', 'tabella': 'nazioni', 'campo': 'paese' }",
dataType: "json",
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
select: function(event, ui) { alert("never fired"},
success: function(data) {
response($.map(data.d, function(item) {
return {
value: item.descrizione
}}))},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(textStatus);
}});},
minLength: 1
});});

I'm using a jquery autocomplete (plugin v 1.1) in an older application. It works fine. I'm now writing a new one and I'm using the jquery ui 1.4.4 version of autocomplete. In the 1.1 version, if I typedizzaand the only match in the resulting list waspizza, thenpizzawould be highlighted and clickingenterwould select pizza. The newer version will not do this.Pizzawill show up alone in the list but I still have to arrow down, or click it to select it. Is this a lost feature or is there a property that activates'auto-select'?

Well, my problem is with the use of basic plugin for Jquery Autocoplete, I have not used any of the many that circulate on the Internet. I managed to do well the search and query the database, it returns me the names of the students, the problem comes when I assign the id of the selected name to a hidden field of the form to send via the id _get to another page editor.
To achieve this autocomplete (or autosuggest), I created 3 files. 2 to make the query and process, and the next file that contains the form and the Javascript code that should work.
busq-alumnos.inc.php:
Anyway, the point is that everything works fine except the assignment of the hidden field id on the form.

Here is what I'm envisioning: The user selects a state, then in the 'Cities' box, he starts typing the name of his city. However, it autocompletes the name for him based on the state he chose. So if he chose California and started typing in "Los Angeles", it would autocomplete "Los Angeles" for him. Does that make sense? Is there a script out there that can do this?

Ok, here's a recent version of a script I've been playing with. Essentially, it 'autocompletes' a selection list. What I would like to know is what browsers & which versions it works / crashes on.
Please note it includes new properties for the selection list (userWord & userWord2) and a method within the autoSelect() object
If you decide to swipe the code for your own use -- go ahead -- but please keep my name & url there -- I'm hoping to get it up on my site with full explanation before the end of the weekend.
Test by find "New York" (spaces important) It times out, and backspace resets.....

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 { .....

I have the official qQuery autocomplete plugin ( from bassistance) working properly. Start typing a product name and it queries my php script and mysql to return a list of products.
However, when the user submits the form, I want a hidden form field that contains the row ID for that product in the database table. I would have thought that this is a very common need, but I did not see any of the examples in the doc or website.
Desired query:
Code:
Desired form for submission

I have a autocomplete box using this plugin[URL]... Returns results no problem. I can't get my head round how to add an event when a selection is made. Basically when someone selects one of the autocomplete options I want to redirect to a specific page (index.php?cms&p=tpl&s=edit&tplid='id of selected option')
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#searchfield").autocomplete('index.php?acms&s=ajax&amod=tpl&ajax=search');
});
hope this makes sense, guessing its really simple and I have just been trying to over complicate things.

In my application,there are several autocomplte field is available.When I type "pank" and then it list out the several matching in the autocomplete field and select one and then hit the enter then it submitted the entire form, which will cause the error message. Because there are several more mandatory field are there, which i need to fill up.I was trying to restrict in this way, but i believe this is the wrong way.

how to use the autocomplete jQuery plugin best to my needs. I'm looking to replace a select box with the Autocomplete plugin, but not quite sure how to accomplish this. In my select box, I have the option that is displayed is not the same as the data that is submitted.
ex: <option value="123">This is Displayed </option> However, with the autocomplete, since it is using a textbox, the values that are displayed, are submitted. Do I have to hack around using hidden fields to accomplish this type of behaviour?

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.

what i want to do is have a selection from 'tst' trigger an input into 'choose' from the data inputted into the 'fname' and 'lname' fields. for example, i want option '1', when selected to draw the input from 'fname' and place it into 'choose'or i might want to select the data in 'lname' instead, so i will tie option 2 to it, so when the user selects option 2 the contents of 'lname' go into 'choose' instead.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
/*[code]....
// This script supports an unlimited number of linked combo boxed
// Their id must be "combo_0", "combo_1", "combo_2" etc.
// Here you have to put the data that will fill the combo boxes
// ie. data_2_1 will be the first option in the second combo box
// when the first combo box has the second option selected
// first combo box
data_1 = new Option("Business Cards", "$");
data_2 = new Option("Club Flyers", "$$");[code].....
I have this code, and I was wondering if it is possible to make the select boxes appear AFTER you select the field before.

been lurking around to see if I could find any kind of solution to what I'm trying to solve, but the closest thing I got was this old thread:What I wantI'm trying to create is a SELECT menu with an INPUT field, but the INPUT field won't display before I select an option from the list. After I've selected an option I want two things to happen; the INPUT field displays and a new SELECT menu shows up with some other options.Then in the last menu, where I create the options of course, theres a final option that finalizes the entire SELECT menu and gives them a button to submit it, and when they press it, all the options will just be printed along with what the user typed in the INPUT fields.
The problemI have no idea how to automatically show the next SELECT menu, which I've created, but hidden, for the user with it's own text field, and then in the end make it possible to submit it to print all the selected options and whats typed in the INPUT fields.I'm guessing I need some sort of jQuery/JavaScript, but I'm not very familiar with that

To validate the form I'm using jquery simple validation. In order to validate a section I put the "class="required" around it but for the select fields I was wondering if it would be possible to display a pop up if they aren't selected?
The code:
<select name="sltDay">
<option value="">day</option>
<% For i = 1 to 31

I saw this on a website, and I'm confused as to what the possible purpose could be for this.
Code:
<input id="myIDNAME" name="myIDNAME" type="hidden" value="0" />
<input id="myIDNAME" name="myIDNAME" type="checkbox" value="0" />
I thought repeating an ID would return an error.
