i was interested in using the value of a text input immediately after the
browser has finished handling a keyboard event.

[jQuery] Re: event handlers that run after the browser's default action
thanks.
i thought of using a timeout and it could probably be made to work fairly
well. but i'd be left with the worry that some user's crummy old browser and
computer that's too busy doing other things might need a longer delay than i
set.
we can insert event handlers at the beginning of the event propagation
chain. or catch the event later as it bubbles. but i've never heard of
attaching a handler to the chain after the browser has done its bit. i was
wondering if this was just my ignorance or if it just can't be done that
way.

[jQuery] event handlers that run after the browser's default action
is there a way to set up a page so that a event handler function is bound to a DOM object and event but it runs _after_ the browser's default action is complete?

could you try invoking the undocumented method .unautocomplete() before
invoking validate()?
i don't know how fancy your validation is but with fancy autocompletion
happening it might be easier on the user if email address validation only
happens on form submit. that approach would allow you to turn off
autocompletion before doing any validation.

what i do to add a autocomplete to new, ajax-added dom elements is:
$(window).ajaxStop(function() {
... code to add autocompletes here ...
});
[jQuery] Re: JQuery Autocomplete - conditional autocompletion between fields
to set extraParams dynamically to the current value of other dom elements,
assign a function to the extraParams that retrieves the value from the dom,
e.g.
$("#state").autocomplete(url, {
extraParams: {
town: function() { return $("#town").val(); }
}
});
see http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete#Dependencies_between_fields
alternatively, you can assign a static value, that of the input then the
autocomplete() method was involked (probably at page steup time), using
MorningZ's code quoted below.
now, to address your other question, if you also have:
$("#town").autocomplete(url, {
extraParams: {
state: function() { return $("#state").val(); }
}
});
then your backend at url can infer which input the user is typing into from
the GET parameter names sent.
but if you want, you could add another static parameter to explicitly say
what is being sent in the q parameter rather than inferring from the other
parameter names, e.g.:
$("#state").autocomplete(url, {
extraParams: {
qis: 'state',
town: function() { return $("#town").val(); }
}
});
$("#town").autocomplete(url, {
extraParams: {
qis: 'town',
state: function() { return $("#state").val(); }
}
});

perhaps my.php is returning the text encoded using a different character
encoding from the page it's being loaded into.
for example, say we have a page that's encoded as iso-8859-1, the server
says that's the encoding and the user agent understands and displays it
nicely. then, via ajax and js, utf-8-encoded text is retrieved from the
server and inserted into the page's dom. i would expect the user agent to
render the text as though it were iso-8859-1 and that would be a problem.
i've never tried it but i'd be surprised if the user agent would notice the
mismatch and perform a conversion.
there could be other explanations but this is worth checking.

i'm not sure i understand your problem entirely but my guess is that the
formatX methods aren't necessarily the right solution for your problem. if
what you want is to submit the key associated with the string in the input
if and only if one exists in your array then you could perhaps do the key
lookup at form submit time quite independently of the autocompletion plugin.

i gave up on browser specific css. i couldn't find a way to do it that
wasn't risky one way or another. when i really need different stylings, i
will use ie conditional html to make the markup different for different
browsers and then use standard css without hacks.

the extraparams need to be functions. otherwise you just set the params to
whatever values are in those selects at the time you called
$(".mui_search_input").autocomplete()

this question comes up periodically here. look in the archive for a thread
called "Autocomplete plugin for multiple form fields from a JSON source".
the kernel is to set minChars to 0 and then when you send two 'click' events
to the field when you want the suggestions to pop open, e.g. inside your
.result() event handler for state input, put:
$("#city").setOptions({minChars: 0}).trigger('click').trigger('click');
or it could go in an onfocus handler on the city field, as you wish.

it seems so. look at the Single Bird (remote) example here:
http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/demo/
the backend returns an array with two members for each suggestion, the
members being separated by the | character. autosuggest takes the first
member for the field with autocomplete. a .result() handler takes the second
member and puts it in the other field ('Hidden input').
this rather powerful trick of passing an array back for each suggestion
seems to be undocumented. but you can see it by reading the demo source and
observing the results from, say
http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/demo/search.php?q=rob
also look in function parse(data), line 371 of the plugin:
row = row.split("|");
presumably you can use lots of array members on each row of results.
[jQuery] Re: Jquery Autocomplete Problem
i assume you are using this plugin?
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/
if so, why did you put the call to autocomplete() inside an event handler?
normally autocomplete() is called on page ready and it establishes its own
event handlers.

there's an email thread in the archives of this list that shows that the
two-clicks to show is intentional design. i have to admit i don't understand
why it was designed this way. but when i made the same change that you
explain above, it caused other UI problems with my app (sorry, i can't

let me know if this works:
$(selector).focus(function(){
$(this).setOptions({minChars: 0}).trigger('click').trigger('click');
}
where selector selects your text field.

it's hardly a silly question. see if this works:
extraParams:{
STATE:function() { return $("#STATE").val(); },
CITY: function() { return $("#CITY").val(); }
}
something like that works in my app.
it would be sweet if you could write something like:
extraParams: function() { ... }
and have your function return an object with lots of extra params. i looked
at the plugin and it didn't seem easy enough for me to be willing to
attempt.

i'm not sure that's going to help Pitt. your fragment will execute at page
ready time and set the extra parameter "isearch" for subsequent searches to
whatever the _initial_ value of the field happens to be, quite likely an
empty string.
if you want to send in an extra parameter an element's value at the moment
the query is sent then you can use a function:
$("#isearch").autocomplete("search_result.php", {
extraParams:{isearch: function() { return $("#isearch").val(); }},
...
but in this case it will result in queries with both paraneters "q" and
"isearch" set to the same value, which seems rather pointless.

two more points, though i don't know if they make any odds:
it seems to be more conventional jq style (see
http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery) to put all
your jq script inside a block like this:
$(document).ready(function() { });
and is there a reason to prefer:
$(".author_name").each(function (i) { $(this).autocomplete(); });
over
$(".author_name").autocomplete();
?

[jQuery] Re: Autocomplete plugin for multiple form fields from a JSON source [autocomplete]
i have an ajax backend onto a mysql table with about 25 million rows,
including three searchable indexed text columns. i want a form with three
text input fields, each with autocomplete.
1) if all fields are blank when the user starts to type into one of them
then normal autocomplete happens on that field, independent of the others.
2) but if the user focuses on an empty field after an autocomplete selection
has been made in one or both of the other fields then a list of all distinct
values in that column of the big table, constrained by the selection(s)
already made, is immediately displayed without any typing.
each of the three fields has class 'auto' and there are three blocks like
this one:
$('#field1').autocomplete('suggest.php', {
extraParams: {
p: 'field1',
field2: function() { return $('#field2').data('chosen')
? $('#field2').val() : ''; },
field3: function() { return $('#field3').data('chosen')
? $('#field3').val() : ''; } } });
so the back end can figure what's being looked for and what the constraints
are, if any.
to make a list of suggestions display on focus for 2) i have:
var lastfocus = '';
$('.auto').setOptions({ minChars: 2
}).focus(function(){
if ( lastfocus != $(this).attr('id')
&& $(this).val() == ''
&& ( $('#field').data('chosen')
|| $('#field2').data('chosen')
|| $('#field3').data('chosen') ) )
$(this).data('chosen', false).setOptions(
{minChars: 0}).trigger('click').trigger('click');
else
$(this).setOptions({minChars: 2});
lastfocus = $(this).attr('id');
}).change(function(){
$(this).data('chosen', false);
lastfocus = $(this).attr('id');
}).result(function(){
$(this).data('chosen', true);
});
lastfocus is a hack: the focus event on a field triggers after a selection
is made by clicking. i.e. with mouse selection focus moves to the list and
then back to the text field. lastfocus deals with that.
the 'chosen' data on each field indicates if the value in that field is one
selected from the big table.
two clicks are needed after setting minChars to 0 to display the list of
suggestions. this is a quirk of the plugin.
this is my first version of a script that seems to work in a way that
wouldn't be too surprising to an unprepared user. i haven't given it much
testing yet. comments and improvements would be welcomed.

if the value you to enter into the form's input element can be derived
programmatically from the suggested text then you could make the
modification using the formatResult option. there are examples of its use in
the demo: http://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/demo/
if the value you want isn't derivable from the suggestions then the simples
answer is probably to make it so. you could put both the suggestion text and
the input value suitably marked up into each line of remote results. then
use formatItem to hide the input value in the suggestion list and use
formatResult to extract it.
[jQuery] [Autocomplete] One more question
There's a "focus grabbing" effect I'm interested in. I can demonstrate using the demo http://jquery.bassistance.de/autocomplete/demo/ : 1. I type "Ro" into Single Bird (remote), the suggestions appear. 2. But "Ro" is the value I want to enter into the field. So I want to move focus to another form field. The standard ways to do that are to click on the field I want to type in next or use (shift-)tab to get there. 3. If I click on the field I want to type in next. e.g. E-Mail (local), it gets the focus for a moment and then the focus moves back to Single Bird (remote). That's odd. Same problem with pressing tab or shift-tab. It seems a field grabs its focus back if I don't use any of its suggestions. I see the same in FF3 and Safari3. Is this focus grabbing the intended behavior of Autocomplete? tom
