Then you need to do something like
'id='+$('theelement').getValue();

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Re: How do I pass other parameters to
Autocompleter?
Thanks, but that didn't work.
My autocompleter creation looks like this (in the window.onload
function):
new Ajax.Autocompleter('myField', 'menu', 'myServlet'',
{
paramName: 'myParam',
parameters: 'type='+1234+'id='+myId
});
The value of myId when the autocompleter is created is what's passed
to the servlet, even if I later change that value. Likewise if I make
the parameter a function call, e.g.:
parameters: 'type='+1234+'id='+getMyId()
then id is set to whatever getMyId() returns at the time the onload
function is called.
What I want to do is set id to be equal to the value returned from
another Autocompleter on the page (which enables this Autocompleter in
its afterUpdateElement callback), but it appears the parameters are
set when the Autocompleter is created. It seems like what I want to
do (a succession of Autocompleters allowing a user to drill down
through a hierarchy) should be possible but I'm stuck.
Thanks,
Paul

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] How do I pass other parameters to Autocompleter?
Hi,
I'm new to all this, both Ajax and Scriptaculous, so please bear
with my easy question.
The book Prototype and Scriptaculous in Action gives an example of
extra query parameters in an Autocompleter as one=1two=2three=3.
I'd like to pass an extra parameter that's not hard-coded but is a
variable that is set previously.
Specifically, I've got two Autocompleter fields. When the user
makes a selection in field 1 I capture an id corresponding to the
selection. That works fine. I'd like to pass that id as a query
parameter in the second field.
This does not work:
{
parameters: 'id='+myid
}
How can I pass the id as a query parameter in the 2nd Autocompleter?
Thanks,
