Hi gurus! I'm using Jorn's autocomplete plugin with multiple textareas - but each one not chained to the other.
I've read Jorn's autocomplete plugin page ( http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ ), this forum, and searched web, but can't find a way to chain multiple textareas with his plugin. It's not an original idea, but I can't find any demos or code. Most examples I find use drop down boxes not textareas that drop down autocomplete suggestions like I need, and I don't know how to change this. If anyone has done this and can post a little code to get me started - or link to a tutorial - thank you thank you! My current form has: Textarea1 - University Textarea2 - Academic Department Textarea3 - Student Courses and each text area has autocomplete to suggest names but each isn't linked to the other. I need to change Jorn's autocomplete (or find other similar plugin) to allow user to type University name - autocomplete suggest name (as it does now) *and* then suggest Department names for the university that user has chosen, and then suggest courses for the university and department they have chosen. The individual autocompletes are currently pulling names from a db. Last thing - I guess the fields should be shown in a cascading manner - after University name is completed, then the Department name field is shown. But I guess this isn't necessary as sometimes the user may want to go back to a field eg Department and change it without seeing the field below disappear. Your ideas/suggestions/examples are welcome. Many thanks!
