Hi,
I tried to make this work following your example but until now I
wasn't able to make this work?
Could you, please, help me out?
This is what I have at the moment:
$("#Tags").autocomplete("/File/GetTags", {
autoFill: true,
cacheLength: 1,
multiple: true,
scrollHeight: 200,
selectFirst: false,
width: 260,
parse: function(data) {
return $.map(eval(data), function(row) {
return {
data: row,
value: row.Name,
result: row.Name
}
});
},
formatItem: function(item) {
return item;
}
});
My JSon data is as follows:
[{"TagID":"883b197e-0cb3-4528-8403-0877d742bf47","Name":"John"},
{"TagID":"017b253e-596b-4328-85f5-fd97a783759c","Name":"Jane"}]
What am I doing wrong? I have been trying many variations of my code
but it still does not work.
Thanks,
Miguel
