Autocomplete Question
Oct 13, 2005
I've recently got a hold of a function that allows for predictive / autocomplete text (shown below). This is fine when Im using it on the first word, however what I'm trying to do is to get it on anything after the first word (ie the second or third word in the text box). If anyone could give some pointers I would be much obliged.
function autoComplete (dataArray, input, evt) {
if (temp.length == 0) {
return;
}
var match = false;
for (var i = 0; i < dataArray.length; i++) {
if ((match = dataArray[i].toLowerCase().indexOf
(temp.toLowerCase()) == 0)) {
break;
}
}
if (match) {
var typedText = input.value;
if (typeof input.selectionStart != 'undefined') {
if (evt.keyCode == 16) {
return;
}
input.value = dataArray[i];
input.setSelectionRange(typedText.length, input.value.length);
}
else if (input.createTextRange) {
if (evt.keyCode == 16) {
return;
}
input.value = dataArray[i];
var range = input.createTextRange();
range.moveStart('character', typedText.length);
range.moveEnd('character', input.value.length);
range.select();
}
else {
if (confirm("Are you looking for '" + dataArray[i] + "'?")) {
input.value = dataArray[i];
}
}
}
}

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.

I'm using the scriptalicious autocomplete to get the names of cities depending on what a user types in. This is working fine but I would like to narrow the search down by having them select a country from a drop down first, as I have over 1 million cities in the database.
The problem is, I can't get the country chosen into a variable to send to the page.

I want to build an Ajax based autocomplete feature. Being a server side guy, I have little knowledge regarding layers and DHTML stuff. Having already implemented the AJAX part of the app, I am stuck with the layers thing.
The Google Suggest autocomplete is cool. Has anybody written code (free) or adapted Google Suggest kind of thing for their own use (like querying from database and showing results) ? Can you point me to some links or resources on the net.

I have a jQuery autocomplete application where the user types a query into a text box and autocomplete suggestions are returned. (It's working fine.) I would like to restrict the suggestions that are returned by passing the value of the selected option from a drop-down list (#deptField3) to the PHP script that does the autocomplete look-up.

I have the following array:
Code:
$given_themes = array("ActionScript", "AppleScript", "Asp", "BASIC", "C", "C++", "Clojure", "COBOL", "ColdFusion", "Erlang", "Fortran", "Groovy", "Haskell", "Java", "JavaScript", "Lisp", "Perl", "PHP", "Python", "Ruby", "Scala", "Scheme");
I want to use these items in the following autocomplete script, but it is not working... How do I get it to recognize the array values? I am sure it has something to do with how I call the variable $given_themes...
Code:
<script>
$(function() {
var availableTags = [ <?php $given_themes; ?>];[code]....

I have been working on an autocomplete script that I have modified to be used with JSP's/Servlets. The script is working very nicely, except for one minor issue. When the user selects from the suggestions in the drop down list, for some unexplained reason, an extra space is added to the word in the text field. Also, I would like to modify this script further, such that if a user enters more than one word in the text field, the autocomplete script is activated for each word, instead of ONLY the first word.
I have added the entire code for the JavaScript file that is responsible for the autocomplete feature below.
The link from where you can download the autocomplete files is here:
[URL]
a demo of the script can be found here:
[URL]
FYI, I am using the version that uses XML.
Below is the JavaScript code for the autocomplete file I am using:
if(typeof(bsn)=="undefined")_b=bsn={};if(typeof(_b.Autosuggest)=="undefined")_b.Autosuggest={};else alert("Autosuggest is already set!");_b.AutoSuggest=function(b,c){if(!document.getElementById)return 0;this.fld=_b.DOM.gE(b);if(!this.fld)return

I have this basic auto complete JavaScript that works well, but you need to hard code the web page. What I'm trying to do is send the "Autocomplete" variable data to the page using a perl script.the working JavaScript code looks like this:
var CustomArray=new Array('an apple','alligator','elephant','pear','kingbird','kingbolt','kingcraft','kingcup','kingdom','kingfish er','kingpin','SML');
Now the new code is: var CustomArray=new Array(Autocomplete);
And the Perl script is sending back the data to the browser looking like this:
var Autocomplete = 'an apple','alligator','elephant','pear','kingbird','kingbolt','kingcraft','kingcup','kingdom','kingfish er','kingpin','SML'
HTML:
<html>
<head>[code].....

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.

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 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 was wondering if there is some other way to turn autocomplete off besides using "autocomplete=off", using a meta tag or something similar. It would be great if there is some way to turn it off at a page level....

I am using the autoupdate plugin. I have a listbox(asp.net control ) just below the autocomplete textbox. In IE6, the autocomplete menu goes behind the asp.net control. This happens only in IE6. It works fine in IE7.
