[jQuery] Chrome and rending dimensions differently?
Not strictly jQuery...but has anyone else noticed that Chrome renders some dimensions different from Firefox and IE? For example, a positioned DIV overlay (positioned using jQuery) will be offset by a certain amount in Chrome from Firefox. Or a DIV is not as wide as it is in Firefox, causing some of the content to break to a new line. Thanks.
[jQuery] Re: jQuery AutoComplete - how to post a variable if option is selected?
James, that problem that you just described is the exact problem that I am having. I can get the autocomplete plugin to update a hidden input with an id value perfectly fine if the user selects a value from the list and triggers the result() function, however I also need it to clear the hidden input in every other case. Do you know how to accomplish this, or what part of the autocomplete plugin code might be relevant if I were to add something in? Thanks.

[jQuery] Re: [autocomplete] Problem with .result
Has anyone figured out a solution to this?
I'm trying to modify the autocomplete plugin so that it triggers a
different function (something like clearField() instead of result())
when you click anywhere outside of the autocomplete search. You can
then write some javascript to clear the hidden field and do whatever
else you want it to do in your document.
I basically want to constrain the user to select something that the
autocomplete returns, and nothing else.

[jQuery] Re: Problem with .result
I just answered my own question. Here's the scenario and what I did
to the autocomplete plugin:
I have an autocomplete field and a hidden field next to it. The
autocomplete field is for names, and the hidden field is for the id of
the name, which is used to query the database for the record. These
were the constraints on the fields:
- values must be selected from the autocomplete, which sets the hidden
field's value as the id of that particular entry (basically making the
text input into a select input...but allowing people to type)
- if a user does anything to the input box but doesn't select a field
from the autocomplete, then it should clear the hidden id field
The autcomplete plugin's result() function only calls when the user
selects something from the autocomplete, so if the user selects
something then CHANGES the value but doesn't re-select from the
autocomplete, the value of the hidden input remains.
This is what I changed in the plugin. There are several parts:
1) first, I define a new variable, selectionMade, for the object
around line 80, right under where hasFocus is defined:
var hasFocus = 0;
var selectionMade = 0;
2) next, I tell the function that tracks keypresses to set
selectionMade to 0 every time a key is pressed that changes the value
of the input, around line 155:
default:
selectionMade = 0;
clearTimeout(timeout);
timeout = setTimeout(onChange, options.delay);
break;
3) I then add a line that sets selectionMade to 1 whenever something
is selected. This can be placed anywhere in the selectCurrent()
function. I put mine around line 225
$input.val(v);
selectionMade = 1;
hideResultsNow();
4) Finally, I add an if check on the .blur() function on the input
object. This checks to see if selectionMade is 1 or 0. If it is 0,
it triggers result() but sends undefined data. This should happen
around line 170, and must be inside if(!config.mouseDownOnSelect)
if(!config.mouseDownOnSelect) {
hideresults();
if (selectionMade == 0) {
$input.trigger(result, [0, ]);
}
}
5) Now, all you have to do is add a check in your application under
the result() function. If data[1] is whatever value you pass when
selectionMade == 0, you can execute code that does whatever you want
it to do. For my purposes, I want it to clear the hidden id field,
and clear the input field to indicate that nothing is selected.
There is one problem. For some reason, when I do $input.trigger
(result, [0, ]);, typeof data == undefined, not 0. This is
probably because I just don't understand how the data is passed, but
it would be nice if I could pass a concrete value, so that instead of
checking if data[1] is undefined, I could check if it is 0 or some
other integer or string.
Let me know if anyone has any improvements. This is my first foray
into modifying a jquery plugin, so it's almost guaranteed that I'm
doing something wrong.
Hope this helps!

[jQuery] Re: Problem with .result
A friend just alerted me to the existence of the mustMatch option in
the plugin. Another option might be to stick your logic in there, and
that should also trigger at the right times.
Lesson learned: always read the documentation...

So I am stick in limbo. I must confirm my email address in order to unsubscribe. I have tested this quite thoroughly. I can change my email address for this account to something different. This alt email account does receive the google group email confirm message, but the proper account, the one I'm sending this post from. does not. Its all very odd. Can someone either please unsubscribe my address manually: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or tell me how to get out of this limbo land. thanks, ke han
