I have a Stripes app with a form w/ two components: 1. A dynamic drop-down populated with all the states in the US 2. A text-field I want to be dynamically populated w/ cities (in the selected state) using auto-complete as the user types
I've chosen to use this Prototype library to do my auto-complete: http://www.devbridge.com/projects/autocomplete/ (Any alternative/better suggestions?) I'm having a hard time understanding how to tie this all together. I've setup an Ajax.Request to set the state the user selects: new Ajax.Request('/app/AddItemForm.action?item.state=' + control.options[control.selectedIndex].value, { method: 'get' }); But I'm now stuck on how to "load" my Stripes city text-field as the user types: <s:text id="item-city" name="item.city" class="required"/> The example given is as follows: <script type="text/javascript"> new Autocomplete('item-city', { serviceUrl:'service/autocomplete.ashx' }); </script> I'm not sure how this should translate into the Stripes world. Do I want to make a call to an action or a JSP?, Either way, how do I get it to return JSON city data in the format needed? My idea thus-far was to set the item state as the user typed, I append the state selected (set on the item object w/ the AJAX.Request) and execute a query where take the user's input and return a list of cities, but I'm not at all sure if that's the right approach. Alternatively, is there a different/easier way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
