Problem using multiple autocomplete combobox
Hi, I have a problem, I'm using three jquery autocomplete combobox and I need execute a function when the user select an ítem, this for each combobox, but I can't do it, all my combobox are filled from a database and according to this example
http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#combobox
I can't assign a function for each combobox because when I write the event in another script, for example in the head, not is executed any event, but if i write the change event inside the jqueryui's example, it works! but this event is execute for all combobox, and it's impossible execute a funtion for each combobox...
how can do this? Thanks for your help.
My code:
I tried this in the head, but not works
- <head>
- $("#combobox").combobox({
- change: function(event, ui) {
- alert("I'm an event");
- }
- });
- //or
- $("#combobox").autocomplete({
- change: function(event, ui) {
- alert("I'm an event");
- }
- });
- </head>
Now i do this (bold text) and it works, but the event is executed for all combobox and I need execute a function for each combobox change event
- (function($) {
$.widget("custom.combobox", {
_create: function() {
this.wrapper = $("<span>")
//.addClass("custom-combobox")
.insertAfter(this.element);
this.element.hide();
this._createAutocomplete();
this._createShowAllButton();
},
_createAutocomplete: function() {
var selected = this.element.children(":selected"),
value = selected.val() ? selected.text() : "";
this.input = $("<input>")
.appendTo(this.wrapper)
.val(value)
.attr("title", "")
//.addClass("custom-combobox-input ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-state-default ui-corner-left")

var input = this.input,

$("<a>")
.attr("tabIndex", -1)
.attr("title", "Show All Items")
.tooltip()
.appendTo(this.wrapper)
.button({

})
.removeClass("ui-corner-all")
//.addClass("custom-combobox-toggle ui-corner-right")
.mousedown(function() {
wasOpen = input.autocomplete("widget").is(":visible");
})
.click(function() {
input.focus();
// Close if already visible
if (wasOpen) {
return;
}
// Pass empty string as value to search for, displaying all results
input.autocomplete("search", "");
});
},
_source: function(request, response) {
var matcher = new RegExp($.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term), "i");
response(this.element.children("option").map(function() {
var text = $(this).text();
if (this.value && (!request.term || matcher.test(text)))
return {
label: text,
value: text,
option: this
};
}));
},
_removeIfInvalid: function(event, ui) {
// Selected an item, nothing to do
if (ui.item) {
return;
}
// Search for a match (case-insensitive)
var value = this.input.val(),
valueLowerCase = value.toLowerCase(),
valid = false;
this.element.children("option").each(function() {
if ($(this).text().toLowerCase() === valueLowerCase) {
this.selected = valid = true;
return false;
}
});
// Found a match, nothing to do
if (valid) {
return;
}
// Remove invalid value
this.input
.val("")
.attr("title", value + " didn't match any item")
.tooltip("open");
this.element.val("");
this._delay(function() {
this.input.tooltip("close").attr("title", "");
}, 2500);
this.input.data("ui-autocomplete").term = "";
},
_destroy: function() {
this.wrapper.remove();
this.element.show();
}
});
})(jQuery);
$(function() {
$("#combobox").combobox();
});
$(function() {
$("#comboboxTwo").combobox();
});
$(function() {
$("#comboboxThree").combobox();
});
How can assign one change event for each combobox and execute the respective function? Thanks for your help!
