Hi all,
first of all I'm sorry if this posting is hard to read. English is not
my mother tongue.
I'm new to jQuery and jQuery-Autocomplete. I want to create an
"intelligent" input form like
Name: ____________
ZIP: _______
City: ____________
Street: _____________
If the ZIP-code is entered the city is filled automatically. That works.
What I want is an autocompletion for street. In my database I have a
list of all streets and the appropriate ZIP-codes
e.g.
34128 / A-Road
34128 / B-Road
34128 / B-Street
34128 / C-Street
If the ZIP-Code is 34128 and the first key pressed in the street-field
is a "B", then only B-Road and B-Street should be shown in the
autocomplete list.
I have the following code fragment, taken from the demo (json.html) and
adapted to fit my needs.
$("#street").autocomplete('search.php?what=street&add='+$('#zip').val(),
{ ...
search.php receives $_GET[q] the input of the user, in $_GET[what] what
to search for (street, ZIP, ...) and in $_GET[add] is stored an
additional parameter (ZIP in this case).
The problem is, that I cannot send the value of the ZIP-code to
search.php. I tried with the example above and with
$("#street").autocomplete('search.php?what=street&add='+form.ZIP.value,
{ ...
In this case, the additional parameter $add contains form.ZIP.value and
not 34128.
If I write
$("#street").autocomplete('search.php?what=street&add=34128', { ...
everything works fine.
Thank you in advance for your help and hava a nice weekend.
