I'm unable to make the keyboard selection of suggestions from the dropdown work in my project, otherwise it works fine and selection with the mouse is possible.
I'm using safari 3 and ff3. Keyboard selection in the demos is working fine, so this seems not to be a browser issue. I've checked that I have the newest jquery.autocomplete.js plugin code. I've checked through the API docs and demo code and can't find anything that seems to enable or disable keyboard selection. I'm stuck and would be grateful for help. Here's the markup: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Test new suggest</title> <script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="jquery.autocomplete.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="suggest-test.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link href="suggest-test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> <form method="post"> <label for="artisttext">Artist</label><br> <p><input type="text" id="artisttext" name="artist" class="auto"></ p> <p><input type="submit" name="submitform" value="Submit"></p> </form> </body> </html> And the script: $(document).ready(function() { $('#artisttext').autocomplete('suggest-test.php', {extraParams: {p1: 'as'} }); $('.auto').setOptions({minChars: 2, delay: 200, max: 50}); });
