Ben Dotte commented on TAPESTRY-1441:
-------------------------------------
Yes, we use the scriptaculous autocompleter exclusively now. This bug was
reported before the scriptaculous version existed, so it isn't something we
need fixed but yes, it is still a problem with the dojo version for anyone else
who might want to use that instead.
> 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
> Fix For: 4.1.4
>
>
> 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);
> }
> };
> }
