Improve extensibility of ui.menu (and thus ui.autocomplete)
jQuery UI Autocomplete was one of the great additions to 1.8. Browsing the nightlies I noticed that it has been decided to make it use the newly developed Menu plugin. Since I cannot modify the behavior of the menu through $.widget-izing the Autocomplete anymore, I would like to see an option to make Autocomplete use a custom widget (inherited from menu) instead of the menu. 4 lines of code which I would gladly provide. On the other hand, ui.menu is really hard to extend. Mostly this is because there
jQuery UI Autocomplete extraParams Problem
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. Here is my code: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- $(function() { $("#directorySearchField-desktop").autocomplete({ source: "/directory/includes/scripts/autocomplete.php",
setting a hidden input value from Autocomplete
I have an Autocomplete for state and province names running. I want to pass the state abbreviation to the next cascade of Autocomplete. I created a hidden input and I want to set it to the abbreviation when the state name is selected, then I'll select it for use in the next tier Autocomplete. I've tried several things, done a lot of Google searching and reading jQuery books, but I need some help. The stateProvince input box autocompletes and selects the full state name. The hidden input does
2 Autocomplete problems
I have 2 problems getting an Autocomplete to work. First, the term is not passing to the php script to modify the query as the user types. Second, the ajax success response is not properly created so no dropdown appears for selection. I have modeled the ajax success on the JSONP example in the Autocomplete documentation section, but it doesn't work for me. According to Firebug, the php does execute a query (but not using 'term') and create JSON. Here's the code. Any help would be appreciated. jQuery:
need help creating an alert inside Autocomplete ajax
I'm having trouble creating an alert to see the data inside the success function. The code is below and does not create a drop down table, though other things work. I'm trying to look at the returned data in the success function and at the values of the label and value items. The alerts I've tried do not trigger, or create syntax errors. What alert(s) should I use? jQuery Autocomplete ajax: $("#stateProvince").autocomplete ({ source: function( request, response )
Widgets internal events - separate treatment of handlers and callbacks.
I have a task of creating composite user controls - like an autocomplete bound together with two buttons (namely, "Update" and "Create"), which is bound to a bunch of service methods responsible for selecting, editing and creating entities. It is used for on-the-fly entities management. The problem is - to provide a consistent behaviour I have to use internals of the associated widgets, like triggering internal events (e.g. if we create a new entity, we should select it immediately in autocomplete,
Autocomplete Problem

Autocomplete events (.change) not firing
Hello. I am using the follow Autocomplete code on a textbox in my web page, and it is working well except for the events not firing. I've tried change, selected, and a few others with no success. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing? <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $('#tbOrganization').autocomplete('@Url.Action("LookupOrgs", "Utilities")', { dataType: 'json', parse: function (data) { var rows = new Array(); for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { rows[i]
trouble passing a variable via POST to a php script
In an Autocomplete source ajax section, I am not able to POST a variable into a php script to filter a query. When I 'hard code' the variable var countryFilter= { "countryAbbrev": "US" }; it is received by the php statement $country=$_POST['countryAbbrev']; and the php script executes with $country=US, and the Firebug console shows data in its POST record. OK so far, but I want the second element (in the above case US ) to change with user selections. When I use JSON.stringify selected.countryAbbrev=$('input[name=country]:checked').val();
Disabling unwanted automatic item focus upon autocomplete
For Autocomplete: How do I stop jQueryUI from automatically focusing on a ui item when the autocomplete menu opens and the mouse has been positioned such that it is over the ui item when the menu opens. This can be seen in the jQueryUI demo. This is not desired since pressing enter will cause the focused ui item to be selected. Why? Because this causes problems if the input field is used as a search field where selection also fires a form submission. Pressing enter with the unwanted ui item focused
jquery-ui autocomplete
I have a series of autocomplete fields in a form. Each one has a unique name and id. I would like to add a drop down button next to the input field, that would initiate the auto-complete to display all of the available options. I don't want to use a combo box, as I want the use to be able to enter in a new option that isn't in the list. Can someone explain how to do this. Thank you.

Asynchronous Autocomplete Echoing
Situation: Using a web service to provide the autocomplete results, the normal behavior of autocomplete, is that someone initially posits a smaller query, and as they type into the field, the query grows. This has the effect of reducing the size, latency, of the network service response, as result size shrinks. Effect: Because there is no check as to response went with which request, the autocomplete display sometimes renders more results than it should (in this case FILO). Usually the requests
is an outbound POST possible from inside a jQuery function?
I have a specific problem in passing a string from Autocomplete to a php script, but in doing a lot of research, I'm getting a hint that the problem may be general with jQuery functions. The code below does not work, in that php prints 'country is' but not the string variable that is received via POST. After hours of searching, I found an Autocomplete documentation section that says its about plugins, but its not, its really about further options and features of Autocomplete that are not mentioned
How to use autocomplete/combobox but restricting choices to the select list only?
Hi, I'm investigating if I can use a JQ UI combobox for my page instead of the existing select box. The problem with my current select box is that it is just too long, and users spend too much time searching for the right value. I'd like to use the combobox instead, but can't see how to limit the choices that the user can enter to what is in the drop down list. It seems as though the user can enter any value into the combobox. Is there a way to limit the user's options to specifically what
jQuery UI Autocomplete After request hook/event?
Hi, I'm using jQuery UI Autocomplete search and open events. But the open event is only called when the request is successful and there are elements. There does not seem to be an event when the response is successful but empty. I display and hide a spinner logo when triggering the request, like this : search: function() { $('.spinner').show(); }, open: function() { $('.spinner').hide(); } This works well when there are elements in the server response but if the server response is empty the spinner
Autocomplete: remote source + categorized items

Using autocomplete with alternate form values (ala select box)
Is there a way to use autocomplete (with remote data) to show one value but return another in the form? For example, in a select box you may have an option: <option value="12345">Pick this option</option> Selecting the option shows "Pick this option" but "12345" is the value submitted with the form. How can I do this with autocomplete? (There are several thousand rows, so using the combobox sample does not appear to be an option.)

auto select an item from a jquery autocomplete field
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 typed izza and the only match in the resulting list was pizza, then pizza would be highlighted and clicking enter would select pizza. The newer version will not do this. Pizza will 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

Autocomplete Dropping 'at' @ Sign in Email Addresses
My applicaiton uses jQuery autocomplete and I noticed that when I type an email address (e.g. someone@somewhere.com) the autocomplete feature works up until I type in the "at" sign. As soon as I enter the @, the autocomplete stops working and the autocomplete suggestion box disappears. When I looked into the issue further, I realized that the string from my input field that is passed along to my autocomplete look-up script is being cut off at the @ sign. In other words, I can type in someone@so

problem with Autocomplete plus Javascript to change some <p> text
I'm real new at this. I have a 1 tier Autocomplete working (below), thanks to a tutorial from Jensbits.com. It autocompletes town names and adds the county from a MySQL database. When I added some Javascript to change an instruction phrase based on the town selection, the Autocomplete stopped working and the JS change does not function either. The JS is assembled from several other tutorials, but I must not have it correct. Corrections would be appreciated. Please be very specific because I

Trigger UI autocomplete select
Is there any way to trigger the select event for an autocomplete with an open menu? I'd like to emulate a tab event in a autocomplete menu. Summoning a $.click on the selected item works, but is a bit awkward. Otherwise, when selecting an item in the menu with the tab key, is there any way to prevent focus from moving to the next input while still selecting the item in the AC? -Ben
Filtered List Visibility
Hi, Looking at the examples on the filtered list (link: http://goo.gl/N7wbN) I was wondering if anyone could suggest a way to only show the search field until some text is entered, then show the list below? I would then like to hide the list on select of an item? Essentially I think this could be used as a quick and easy autocomplete if I could wrap this logic up? Thanks in advance, Simon

Several Improvements and Changes to JQueryUI Autocomplete
Several weeks ago I made several changes to the jqueryui autocomplete control that we need for using it in a collaboration platform (it's call "Tricia", see http://www.infoasset.de/). I expected I would want to change so many things that I have to maintain a separate fork independent of the official release anyway. However, now I saw that the new release contains one bugfix I already made (and several more I'd like to have in my version) and I'm wondering if my changes are general enough to be worth
Autocomplete on a dynamically created input
Hello.. So, what I'm trying to do is to get the autoComplete to work with any new appended <input> fields on my page. The dynamically appended <input> fields are added to the page, when a button is pressed, by using insertRow/innerHTML within a table body. Upon the creation of the new <input> field, it is given a name, an unique id, and an onFocus(function() {autoComplete('userRelative',(oID=+oID));} is set. eg.: //Static <input> field - always visible on the page. <input type="text" name="userRelative[]"
