[jQuery] Handling result from the autocomplete plugin
Hello
I'm using the following autocomplete plugin: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete
It's getting its data from an array, here are the first couple of
values:
data[0] = "Magnesium (s) | R: 11, 15 | S: 7/8, 43";
data[1] = "Saltsyra 4M (aq) | R: 36/38 | S: 2. 28";
data[2] = "Natriumnitrat | NaNO3 | R: 8, 22";
I have four different input elements:
- Name, which triggers the autocomplete
- three other ones
When the user enters something in name and the choses one of the
autosuggested lines, I don't want it to put that entire name into the
input window. I to ONLY put the name into it, the name is always the
first part of the string, the part before the first |.
Then I want to put the information between the first | and the second
| into the second input box, the information between the second and
third | into the third box, and the information left in the string I
want to put into a fourth input element.
How can this easiest be achieved?
