Autocompleter autofills textfield with unexpected value
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TAPESTRY-1441
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1441
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: XHR/dhtml/Ajax
    Affects Versions: 4.1.2
         Environment: Tapestry 4.1.2 snapshot from 5-3, WinXP, Firefox 2
            Reporter: Ben Dotte


After you begin typing into an Autocompleter, the dropdown appears with 
possible values and the textfield attempts to autofill itself. I would assume 
it is supposed to autofill with the first available value. The problem is the 
text it tries to autofill with is not right if the possible values don't start 
with the value entered by the user (a contains search).

As an example, say I have an autocompleter with the values "01 blah", "02 
blah", "03 blah", "04 blah", and "05 blah". I type "bla" into the textfield and 
wait for the dropdown to appear. When the dropdown appears, all of the possible 
values appear as expected, but the textfield now says "blablah". I would not 
expect "blah" to get appended to the "bla" I typed in as this is not a valid 
choice.

Either the textfield should autofill with a valid value, or it shouldn't 
autofill at all, like the Tacos autocompleter. (I would prefer the latter.)

Here is some code to replicate the example:

.html:
<form jwcid="@Form">
        <span jwcid="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" value="ognl:curValue" 
model="ognl:model" />
</form>

.java:
public abstract String getCurValue();

public IAutocompleteModel getModel()
{
        final List<String> values = Arrays.asList("01 blah", "02 blah", "03 
blah", "04 blah", "05 blah");
                
        return new IAutocompleteModel()
        {
                public String getLabelFor(Object value)
                {
                        return (String) value;
                }

                public List getValues(String filter)
                {
                        List<String> result = new ArrayList<String>();
                        
                        for (String val : values)
                        {
                                if (val.contains(filter))
                                {
                                        result.add(val);
                                }
                        }
                        return result;
                }

                public Object getPrimaryKey(Object value)
                {
                        return values.indexOf(value);
                }

                public Object getValue(Object primaryKey)
                {
                        return values.get((Integer) primaryKey);
                }
        };
}
