Shawn, yes, that is the plugin I am talking about. In Jorn's blog
post on Autocomplete he said to post here with [Autocomplete] in the
subject if having problems.
Here's the code I'm using:
$("#client_name").autocomplete("/ac/get_clients/", {
scroll: true,
scrollHeight: 300,
autoFill: true,
cacheLength: 1,
max: 20,
matchContains: false
});
I also have a .result(function(){}); running after that as well so I
can populate a form with the returned data from the autocomplete.
I'm using CodeIgniter as my php framework utilizing a library called
DataMapper which is an implementation of an ORM. Here's the function
I'm using to return the data:
function get_clients()
{
$c = new Client();
$c->get();
$q = strtolower($_POST['q']);
if ( ! $q)
return;
foreach ($c->all as $client) {
if (strpos(strtolower($client->name), $q) !== false) {
echo "$client->name|$client->id\n";
}
}
}
