Hi again,
Yes, we have something similar to what you describe in your point 2.
The only difference is that we have other structure. What we have is the
following:
-Each locality has an internal ID, a Zip Code, a City and a (swiss) kanton.
-in the html we have a Hidden, which stores the internal ID, and 1 (only)
TextField, which shows Zip Code + City + Canton (For example: "8052
Seebach, ZH").
-then we have an extension as you mention (AutoCompleteTextField,
Renderer, Behavior, JavaScript), which is already working with this
schema. It also contains many fixes over the original
autocompletetextfield (perhaps originated from the extra behavior?).
If this approach is good for you, i can send you our version, plus some
example usages.
Regards,
German
