Hi,
I have a form where users must select from over 11000 records in
list_box. I'm using ajax to observe text field and update select to
reduce high load when loading page (If I populate list box with 11K
records page renders very slow).
So the problem is that $ajax->observeField() triggers not on typing in
text field, but when the field lost focus. In other words - it works
on javascript "onBlur" event, not on "onChange".
Is there a way to populate my list_box when user is typing in text_box
and is not necessary to press TAB, or to click somewhere with mouse .
Here is snippet from my view (I don't think there is a problem in
controller or model code, because if the text_field lost focus all is
fine and working)

print $form->input('Employer.string', array('type'=>'text',
'maxlength'=>'5', 'size'=>'10', 'id'=>'employer_string',
'label'=>'Employer'));

print '<span class="ajax_update" id="ajax_indicator" style="display:
none;"><img src="/cake_apps/img/ajax_update.gif" alt="Working..." /></
span>';

print $form->input('CustomerTaxDetail.employer_id',
array('type'=>'select', 'label'=>'', 'options'=>$employersArray,
'showEmpty'=>false, 'size'=>4,
'id'=>'employers',                                      
'error'=>array('required'=>'Employer is
obligatory', 'maxlength'=>'Employer code max length is 8 symbols',
'number'=>'Employer code must be a number')));

print $ajax->observeField('employer_string', array('url'=>'/employers/
autocomplete', 'update'=>'employers', 'indicator'=>'ajax_indicator',
'onChange'=>true));


P.S. Even when I write something like this:
print $form->input('Employer.string', array('type'=>'text',
'maxlength'=>'5', 'size'=>'10', 'id'=>'employer_string',
'label'=>'Employer', 'onChange'=>'window.alert(\'CHANGE\')'));
nothing happens when typing in text box
