I've recently added the JQuery autocomplete plug in and have a textbox that autocompletes a list of employees. It works great and I commend the authors of the plugin. I think the textbox would be MUCH more useful though, when upon selecting, we can extract the StaffID (Ie. retreive the value of the selection). My code is below and y...
I have a Delphi (5) application that uses a log-in screen (standard user name/password) and have just found out recently that password storage applications can identify the log-in fields in the screen, even if they are obfuscated, and offer to save the information for the user. Due to the high security nature of our program, we don't wa...
There are many flavours to the AutoComplete implementation, I first did a WPF implementation that was very robust, each entry took keywords, so when searching for an employee, it didn't matter if you typed the first or last name, the results came back similar to Google Suggest. What I have found limiting in both the JQquery autocomplete...
An aggregate type T is made up of 4 strings: t = c1 c2 c3 c4 Each of c1 c2 c3 c4 can have a number of unique values: c1 may have a number of unique values c1.1, c1.2, c1.3, ... c1.n, where 'n' can be fairly high, about 30,000. c2 has far fewer unique values, no more than 5, i.e., n < 5 For c3 and c4, n is unpredictable but generally 1...

What is the correct/best way of handling spaces and quotes in bash completion? Here’s a simple example. I have a command called words (e.g., a dictionary lookup program) that takes various words as arguments. The supported ‘words’ may actually contain spaces, and are defined in a file called words.dat: foo bar one bar two Here’s my f...
I'd like to create an autocomplete control using Boo/C#. Here's a screenshot from the internet if you don't know how it looks like : I'm basically thinking of a undecorated window/dialog ( which I'm not sure how would I implement ), or a control that can be displayed on it's own ( a ListBox of some sort ). How could I implement such ...
Using ASP.NET MVC, I've implemented an autocomplete textbox using the approach very similar to the implementation by Ben Scheirman as shown here: http://flux88.com/blog/jquery-auto-complete-text-box-with-asp-net-mvc/ What I haven't been able to figure out is if it's a good idea to cache the data for the autocomplete textbox, so there wo...

I'm using the jquery autocomplete plugin from pengoworks: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete_docs.txt In the function called upon an entry being selected, I want to find out the name (id) of the input element. (Because the callback is going to be used for multiple autocompletes.) Code looks like this: myCallback =...
Hi, I'm trying to create an auto complete field (using the script.aculo.us plugin) in a form for a category select, but I want the auto complete list to display a number next to each category (the number of other things in the same category). This is similar to the Tags field on stack overflow. Right now I can display the number I wa...
I'm trying to use the official jQuery autocomplete plugin with an ASMX web service in an ASP.NET 3.5 Web Forms application. If I understand it correctly, the autocomplete plugin can only use HTTP GET to call a service (with two query string parameters: q and limit). I figured out how to make the web service respond to the HTTP GET calls,...

Unfortunately, attempting to use this style with SL3 RTM and the latest SL Toolkit does...

Here's our code: new Ajax.Autocompleter('q', 'autocomplete_choices', 'http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?q=test', {method:'get', onS...
Entering my address via a traditional form drives me crazy: Why do I have to enter my city, state, and zip code when my city and state can be inferred from my zip code? Choosing your state from a dropdown list is a pain in the ass -- often you can't tab into it, you have to use the mouse, etc. Because I find this process so repulsi...

Im after a plugin to do autocomplete like facebook does in that you can select multiple items - similar to how tagging a stackoverflow question works.

I use the jQuery Autocomplete plugin to display user info in the search box and I can't quite figure out the meaning of the syntax of the following parse function: $("#UserSearchBox").autocomplete('FindUser.ashx', { minChars: 2, width: 400, max: 5, parse: function(data) { return $.map(eval(data), function(row) { ...
