I think the problem is that the "source" attribute is set only once, on
document ready, before any values are selected in the multiselect. Instead,
maybe you can update the source attribute when the multiselect changes:
var base = "{{=URL('hubaddressbook', 'locality_args_autocomplete')}}"
$('#no_table_word').change(function() {
var url = base + "/" + this.val();
$("#no_table_locality_args").autocomplete('option', 'source', url);
});
Since #no_table_word is a multiselect, what happens when multiple items are
selected -- what is the value of val() in that case (is it a legal web2py
arg)?
