Re: autocomplete: no popup when field is empty

2008-06-18 Thread taygolf 

I am still having issues with this. I am using 1.4-m2 with your newest
additions. It is much better but it really only half way gives the user what
he is asking for. He wants to list to show up on an empty input. The way you
have it implemented is the user has to click on the textfield and then press
the down key to get the entire list to show up on an empty input. While this
sort of fixes the issue I think it would be more useful if you simply had
the list show up when the textfield loads instead of having to click on the
textfield and press the down arrow. This will knock down a lot of user
confusion. Is there a way to simply always show the div that holds the list
of values? I may be confused here but I have not found a way to fix this
issue on my own.

Thanks

Re: autocomplete: no popup when field is empty

2008-05-27 Thread taygolf 

has this been implemented yet? I just posted a similar question to this and I
would like to show the list of choices even if the textfield is blank as
well.

Thanks

i _could_ use something from a combobox i did some time ago:

but that script is 13kb (unstripped) compared to wicket-autocomplete
3k (stripped) and it's based on YUI...

Re: autocomplete: no popup when field is empty

2008-04-23 Thread Gerolf Seitz 
k, it's basically done.
if the list is longer than the browser's height, scrolling with both the
keyboard
and the mouse either feels kinda awkward (because the entire page gets
scrolled
with .scrollIntoView) or even impossible.
what we could do now is the following:
put the list in another div with style "overflow:scroll; height: XYpx;"
this way scrollIntoView does not affect the entire page.

now if anyone can think of better names than "allowEmptyInput" or
"showListOnEmptyInput" i will happily use the better suggestions ;)

Re: autocomplete: no popup when field is empty

2008-04-23 Thread Johan Compagner 
I guess this is being done because when nothing is typed there is normally
no list?

Gerolf do you see any problem making this configurable so that it does show
always a list if there are values?

autocomplete: no popup when field is empty

2008-04-23 Thread Gabriel Erzse 
Hi,

I am using the autocomplete feature of Wicket, and I would like the user to see 
the entire list of available values when the input field is empty. Then, as he 
starts typing values in the input field, the list of values will narrow down.

However I see that when the input field is empty, the popup for autocomplete is 
not displayed (for example when I press down arrow). I searched in the wicket 
code and I saw that in file "wicket-autocomplete.js", in function 
"doUpdateChoices" there are two checks for the situation when the input field 
is empty. These checks don't allow for the popup to be visible.

So, my questions would be: does anyone know why this was done so, and can I 
somehow disable this behavior? I would find it really useful to be able to 
display a list of values even when the input field is empty.

Thank you,
Gabi.
