Re: autocomplete show all button

[Jan Fryblik]

I understand how it works. May be my explanation was a bit vague. So...

I want to have text field with predefined options and also possibility to insert custom text. So i looked for like "editable select", but then i create plain textfield with autocomplete. It works fine as i want, but i would like to give users option to show all predefined values without typing anything. For me is better if they choose predefined value instead of creating new one, but i can't cover all possible cases. 

I hope now is clear. Thanks for help.

It is not related to the autocomplete. Autocomplete triggers an event on the server side it is up to you to figure out what to return.

Usually this should query some db table and return data that matches that. 

Example

You have a filed that would help users to type in a country. When they start to type "Ser" you will give them a list of countries that matches the db table. 

If you want to show them all just do a db query that will return the entire content of the db table and then show it in screen

Hope it helps

So why not create a button that will populate a list of the available
options?

Hi guys,

I'm using Tapestry-JQuery AutoComplete component and i would like to have
small button to show all options next to text field. Does somebody know how
to open autocomplete list? I've tried a few solutions suggested in other
discussions, but none of them worked. Thank you in advance.


Best Regards,
Jan
