Has anyone tried to add an "autocomplete" feature to the Manakin UI (XMLUI)? By "autocomplete", I mean the Web UI trick where a text field is checked, as you type, against a list of possible completions and automatically filled in, or completed, by inserting text into the field or posting a dropdown menu of possible completions. For example, the AjaxTags library has it under "Autocomplete", see http://ajaxtags.sourceforge.net/ -- but that's specifically for a JSP-based UI.
Autocomplete usually seems to be implemented as part of a comprehensive Javascript UI toolkit, and most of those are large, complex, standalone, and/or do not play well when integrated with another vertical-web-UI-solution like Cocoon. So, do you know of any such toolkit that _is_ easy to integrate with Cocoon and/or Manakin? Has anyone developed their own autocomplete? I've been experimenting with the Yahoo UI widgets (http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/ ); it's well-documented and seems reasonably lightweight and modular, but it has some drawbacks. I'm hoping there is somebody already at the top of this learning curve who can see over this swamp from such a lofty vantage. thanks, -- Larry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
