jQuery Autocomplete - AJAX Data
Hello,
I have this code from an open source application that returns data from an AJAX request into an autocomplete field.
This is the code:
- // set autocomplete to customer type fields
$('#SearchInsert').find('.CustomerCompanySearch').each(function() {
var InputID = $(this).attr('id') + 'Autocomplete';
$(this).removeClass('CustomerCompanySearch');
$(this).attr('id', InputID);
$(this).prev().attr('id', InputID + 'Selected');
// escape possible colons (:) in element id because jQuery can not handle it in id attribute selectors
ITSM.Agent.CustomerSearch.Init( $('#' + Core.App.EscapeSelector(InputID) ) );
// prevent dialog closure when select a customer from the list
$('ul.ui-autocomplete').on('click', function(Event) {
Event.stopPropagation();
return false;
});
});
The first time I use the application, this works as it should, it appends the class "Autocomplete" to the field and data is returned into the field.
But when I submit the search and try a second seach the class "Autocomplete" is not appended anymore and the autocomplete does not work at all, note the search happens without a page reload.
If I reload the page with a F5, then the field will work again one time.
I hope I could make this somewhat clear.
How can I make the autocomplete always work without having to reload the page?
Thank you in advance.
