Hi,
I wanted a dropdown as soon as I place my cursor in the input box
(local values). I tried putting minChars as 0. It didn't seem to have
much effect. I made the following change in the autocomplete code
.click(function() {
// show select when clicking in a focused field
if ( hasFocus++ > 0 && !select.visible() ) { /// I have changed
it
to > 0 instead of 1.
And Also I wanted to have multiple values. But after the first value
in the input box the drop down box wouldn't appear on click on the
box. I have to enter atleast one character. So I made the following
change
// if the exact item exists, use it
if (options.minChars == 0) { // start of my code
return data[""];
} // end of my code
if (data[q]) {
return data[q];
}
Not sure if this will break the autocomplete on an AJAX mode...now
with this it is able to dropdown even after the first value already in
the box. but now the entered value replaces the older value...so I had
to make one last change.
if (words.length > 1) {
if (options.minChars == 0 && ($input.val().length
== $input.val().indexOf(",") + 1)) {
v = words.slice(0, words.length).join(options.multipleSeparator) +
options.multipleSeparator + v;
}else {
v = words.slice(0, words.length - 1).join
(options.multipleSeparator) + options.multipleSeparator + v;
}
}else{
if ($input.val().indexOf(",") >= 0) {
v = words.slice(0, words.length).join(options.multipleSeparator) +
options.multipleSeparator + v;
}
}
so My request is do you find anything that could break the code. I can
sent you the modified autocomplete.js for testing.
THnks
