[jQuery] Re: [Autocomplete] Receiving data in XML

[alexbodn . groups]

hi,

i'm personally not the maintainer of autocomplete, but in my opinion this code 
is too purpose specific to be hardwired in autocomplete.

but you could pass a function with the part in else as the 'parse' argument to 
autocomplete, and need no change in autocomplete itself.

Hi,

Basically to work like I said before I make the follow changes in
AutoComplete v1.1 (full file is attached)

function parse(data) {
    var parsed = [];
    if (!options.xmlResult)
    {
        var rows = data.split("\n");
        for (var i=0; i < rows.length; i++) {
            var row = $.trim(rows[i]);
            if (row) {
                row = row.split("|");
                parsed[parsed.length] = {
                    data: row,
                    value: row[0],
                    result: options.formatResult &&
options.formatResult(row, row[0]) || row[0]
                };
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        var count = 0;
        $(data).find(options.xmlResult).each(function() {
            var aux = [];
            aux[0] = $(this).html();
            for(i=0;i<options.xmlAttrNodes.length;i++)
            {
                aux[i+1] = $(this).attr(options.xmlAttrNodes[i]);
            }
            parsed[count++] = {
                data: aux,
                value: aux[0],
                result: options.formatResult && options.formatResult(aux,
aux[0]) || aux[0]
            };
        });
    }
    return parsed;
};

and did this inside the $.Autocompleter.defaults declaration

    xmlResult: false,
    xmlAttrNodes: ["id", "value"],


So, Is this code OK to be incorporated to future releases of the
Autocomplete plugin?

Thanks in advanced.

play with the options to autocomplete: dataType, parse are handling the
conversation with the server.

Hi,

First of all, I want to thank you about your excellent Autocomplete
plugin for jQuery.

So, I plan use your component in my open source framework called
XMLNuke. This framework produces XML, so I made some changes in jQuery
Autocomplement plugin to support receive XML data.

Here an Example:

   $("#teste3").autocomplete("demo/search.php", {
       width: 260,
       selectFirst: false,
       xmlResult: "value",
       xmlAttrNodes: [ "id", "info" ]
   });

The XML looks like to:

<rootnode>
  <value id="1" info="Some Info 1">Some Description 1</value>
  <value id="2" info="Some Info 2">Some Description 2</value>
  <value id="3" info="Some Info 3">Some Description 3</value>
</rootnode>

How do I attach the file with the changes in Plugin?
