Hi. I'm trying to get the autocomplete plugin working, this one:
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/
I'm finding that in Mac FF no menu appears at all when I start typing
(even though I know there are matches). In Safari a menu appears off
to the left of the input field by the edge of the window. Although
there is no menu, when I type a few letters and press tab, it
completes the word.
In both browsers I verified that the plugin's demo page works fine.
I checked that my XHTML is valid.
I'm not applying any CSS positioning to any elements on my page.
I tried it with remote data and I verified using Firebug that the
newline-separated data is returned by the AJAX request as expected.
I also tried it with local data exactly as in the documentation
example:
var data = "Core Selectors Attributes Traversing Manipulation CSS
Events Effects Ajax Utilities".split(" ");
$('input#firstname_search_field').autocomplete(data);
All with the same result described above.
I realize that the autocomplete has a dependency on the dimensions
plugin, so I made sure to include that. I also tried it without the
dimensions plugin.
I also tried it with no other JavaScript included -- just JQuery,
dimensions, and autocomplete.
I made sure the autocomplete CSS file is included.
Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions?
I'm using JQuery 1.2.6 (rev 5685) and autocomplete rev 5329
Thanks,
Ethan
