Thanks all for the responses.
In case anyone reads this post ... This is what I did to get it
working:
The JSON data I had was:
{"vegetables":null,"fruit":["orange","apple","peach"]}
In my jsp (html, whatever) I had:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.autocomplete.css" type="text/
css" media="screen"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery-1.2.6.js"></
script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/
jquery.autocomplete.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$().ready(function() {
function parse(data) {
var parsed = [];
var row = data.split("fruit")[1];
row = row.substring(3, row.length - 2);
var data = row.split(",");
var fruits = [parsed.length];
$.each(data, function(i) {
n = data[i].substring(1, data[i].length-1);
fruits[i] = {
data: n,
value: n,
result: n
};
});
return fruits;
}
function formatItem(row) {
return row;
}
$("#fruit_input").autocomplete("myaction.action", {
parse:parse,
formatItem: formatItem
});
});
</script>
</head>
the jquery.autocomplete.js file I just copied from:
http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/
I had a struts action to give me the JSON data. I simply followed the
example here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/json-plugin.html
(somewhere towards the bottom of the page).
I hope that helps someone!
Cheers everyone!
