[jQuery] Re: Select Issue

[brightdad...@googlemail.com]

I have gone through the autocomplete documentation and therefore
changed the code to look like this;

            function selectItem(li) {
                findValue(li);
            }

            function findValue(li) {
                if( li == null ) return alert("No match!");

                // if coming from an AJAX call, let's use the id as
the value
                if( !!li.extra ) var sValue = li.extra[0];

                // otherwise, let's just display the value in the text
box
                else var sValue = li.selectValue;

                alert("The value you selected was: " + sValue);
            }

            function formatItem(row) {
                if(row[1] == undefined) {
                    return row[0];
                }
                else {
                    return row[0] + " (id: " + row[1] + ")";
                }
            }
            $(document).ready(function(){
                $("#example").autocomplete("test.php",
                {
                    delay:10,
                    lineSeparator: "^",
                    cacheLength: 10,
                    matchSubset:1,
                    matchContains:1,
                    cacheLength:10,
                    onItemSelect: selectItem,
                    onFindValue: findValue,
                    formatItem: formatItem,
                    autoFill: false
                }).result(function(a,data,c) {
                    /**TODO:*/

                });;
            });

But still doesn't seem to behave as expects.

The backend php fetches the results and output it like this;

    while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
        if (strpos(strtolower($row['company_name']), $q) !== false) {
            echo '<li>'.($row['company_name']).'</li>';
        }
    }
