Hello,
In my application I'm using the inputSuggestAjax-component from
Tomahawk.
There are two minor inconvienances with this component, which I would
like to address.
I'm not sure whether to report them here or to the DoJo-toolkit, but
since I'm coding using the tomahawk-component, I will start here.
On some form I have several h:selectOneMenu components aligned
underneath each other. Most of my selectboxes have just a few options,
but one has about 1700 and for that one I'm using the
inputSuggestAjax-component. That component is about half way through the
list of selectboxes.
As a user I can use TAB to switch from 1 input to another and use the
up- and down-arrow for selecting the proper option. This stops when I
reach the inputSuggestAjax-component, because after I made my selection
with the keys the focus does not get set to the next input-field in the
form. I have got to use the mousepointer to give focus to the next form
element.
The selected issue is about layout.
If I open the options for the inputSuggestAjax-component all options get
rendered in a layer on top of the selectboxes which are located
underneath it in the form. That's how I expect it should be have. Once I
made a selection, entered some other field and then want to change the
selection of the inputSuggestAjax-component, I will click on the
text-field.
Using the backspace I remove the last part of the text until the
component starts to suggest all alternatives, which start with the text
still remaining in the input-text-field. Those alternatives will
rendered in the background compared to the 'normal' selectboxes also
present in the form. This makes is quite hard to read the values of the
options and thus select the proper one.
IE 6.0 is the target-browser.
Does anybody recognise this behaviour and know how to get around these
issues?
With kind regards,
Marco Beelen
