Well if it is a fixed parameter just use:
new Ajax.Autocompleter("autocomplete", "autocomplete_choices",
"processor_script", {
paramName:"name",
parameters:"param2=value2¶m3=value3"
});
will result in "name=value¶m2=value2¶m3=value3"
The callback is useful if you need parameters from some other element or
want to build them your own way:
Example:
<h3>Search</h3>
<form action="">
<select name="field">
<option value="name">Person</option>
<option value="company_name">Company</option>
<option value="person_notes">Notes</option>
</select>
<select name="position">
<option value="starts_with">starts with</option>
<option value="contains">contains</option>
</select>
<input type="text" id="searchbox" class="autocomplete" name="searchstring"/>
<span id="indicator" style="display: none"><img
src="/images/indicator.gif" alt="Working..." /></span>
<div id="autocomplete_choices" class="autocomplete"></div>
</form>
<div id="contact_details" style="display:none;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
new
Ajax.Autocompleter('searchbox','autocomplete_choices','people.php', {
minChars: 2,
frequency: 0.3,
indicator: 'indicator',
select: 'field',
callback: function(element, entry){
var form = element.form;
return Form.serialize(form);
},
afterUpdateElement: function(field,element){
Element.show('indicator');
new Ajax.Updater('contact_details','people.php',{
parameters:'id='+element.id,
onComplete: function(xhr,obj){
var container = $('contact_details');
Element.hide('indicator');
if(!Element.visible(container))
new Effect.SlideDown(container,{duration: 0.3});
}
});
}
});
$('searchbox').focus();
</script>
