I have create an auto complete plug-in the it almost prefect for what I need, just one small problem. The problem is that I can't get the auto complete box to disappear when i click click outside of the input box and outside the auto complete box. now my first try was to do a blur event on the input box which does the job but since the blur event happens before the .click event on the auto complete items, the auto complete box disappear before the click event happens. Is there another way to hide the auto complete box when i click outside the input and auto complete box?
Also, please don't respond by saying use "X" plug-in instead. I know that a lot of people don't like when people recreate the "wheel"(i don't really understand it. I have recreated a plug-in(a tab plug-in) and the reason I am re create a auto complete plug-in(and I am sure there will be more) is I want to actually learn jQuery. I don't want to have to be dependent on another person work. Also the plug-ins that i create and recreate I am actually interested in learn how they really work. Know I am not someone is is trying to create every plug-in under the sun, for instance I would never think about recreating a form validation plug or thickbox plug-in because I can find fantastic plug-in that do that and I really have no deep need to learn those from scratch. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/problem-doing-auto-complete-tp15254596s27240p15254596.html Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
