What will happen here is that your cfc function will return the recordset as you expect. However, the javascript that processes this resultset for the dropdown performs its own filter - stripping out results that don't begin with what is in the input and so the results never show.
The widget that CF uses for the autosuggest is from YUI (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/autocomplete/) and is configurable so that it can match the string in various different ways - but CF gives no interface to those options. If you have the time and inclination, I would invest it in getting an auto-suggest working without the cfinput tag (ie. pure js w/ ajax). However, I did write a handy customtag wrapper to cfinput autosuggest that allows you to set those options: http://betterautosuggest.riaforge.org/ Your useage may look something like: <custom:betterautosuggest type="text" name="lookup" autosuggest="cfc:cfcName.getEMPID({cfautosuggestvalue})" queryMatchContains="true" /> HTH Dominic 2009/4/16 Priya Koya <priya23...@gmail.com>: > > Hi, > > Sample code before I say anything about the issue.. > <cfform > > Name:<cfinput type="text"name="lookup" > autosuggest="cfc:cfcName.getEMPID({cfautosuggestvalue})" ><br /> > Department: > <cfselect name="userID" id="userID" bind="cfc:cfcName.getName({lookup})" > display="userID" > value="userID" > bindOnLoad="false" /> > </cfform> > > cfc code.. > > <cfcomponent> > <!---function to retun dept based on user name---> > <cffunction name="getName" access="remote" output="false" > returntype="query"> > <cfargument name="route_num"> > > <cfquery name="get_bnk_name" datasource="cfdocexamples"> > SELECT emp_id as UserID > FROM Employees > where UCase(FirstName) =Ucase('#ARGUMENTS.route_num#') > </cfquery> > <cfreturn get_bnk_name> > </cffunction> > > <!---function to retun emp name based on entered letter---> > <cffunction name="getEMPID" access="remote" output="false" > returntype="string"> > > <cfargument name="route_num"> > > <cfquery name="get_bnk_name" datasource="cfdocexamples"> > SELECT FirstName,emp_id > FROM Employees > where UCase(FirstName) LIKE Ucase('%#ARGUMENTS.route_num#%') > > </cfquery> > <cfreturn ValueList(getEMPID.FirstName)> > > </cffunction> > > > I am using autosugest to display the data in the text field. as started > keying the id and once the id selected..I get name back in the select > statement sucessfully. > I am done with it But my concern is when I key in the id I should get the > dropdownlist in this format id-firstname. > ex: if id is 1 > and the repective employer name is daniel then the autosugest dropdown > shoud show 1-Daniel. > > I tried using something like this: > > <cffunction name="getEMPID" access="remote" output="false" > returntype="string"> > <cfargument name="route_num"> > <cfquery name="get_bnk_name" datasource="cfdocexamples"> > SELECT FirstName,emp_id > FROM Employees > where UCase(FirstName) LIKE Ucase('%#ARGUMENTS.route_num#%') > </cfquery> > <cfset arrayName = listtoarray(ValueList(getEMPID.FirstName))> > <cfset arrayemp_id = ListtoArray(ValueList(getEMPID.emp_id))> > <cfset bankname=arraynew(1)> > <cfset empName[i] = listtoarray(arrayName[i] &'-'& arrayemp_id[i])> > <cfreturn empName> > > </cffunction> > > I would really appreciate with any suggestion. > > Thanks, > Priya > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321682 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
