Hi,
I am trying to get the feature which was discussed in
But, I simply can’t do it. Can any one please help me on getting this implemented with a sample code ? I tried with many jquery plugins, but none of them works.
All I am trying to do is to have an autocomplete text box on a LightBox which fetches a customer database from a MySQL database…
Hi,
The thread you linked to was the one I posted awhile back. I use jQuery-UI Autocomplete http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/
I can’t help you with the back-end coding from MySQL, but to make it work the the Scheduler you need to call the autocomplete on the onLightbox event. Here’s a short sample of my code that builds on the code from the previous thread.
scheduler.attachEvent("onLightbox", function (event_id) {
// autocomplete is called here
Cal.autocomplete('ap');
});I separate the autocomplete search function from the event above because I have a lot going on inside the event. However, you could write the autocomplete search right in there.
// tbox is the id of the autocomplete search box
Cal.autocomplete = function (tbox) {
$('#' + tbox).autocomplete({
source: function (request, response) {
$.getJSON(
// the url that will return your JSON result set
Page.search + '?term=' + request.term,
function (j) { response(j); }
);
},
minLength: 3,
focus: function (event, ui) {
return false;
},
select: function (event, ui) {
//do what you like here when user selects an autocomplete option
return false;
}
});
}Finally, here’s a sample of the JSON result I return to the Cal.autocomplete function.
[{"label":"Bruce Banner","value":16086},{"label":"Peter Parker","value":41511},{"label":"Bruce Wayne","value":38572},{"label":"Clark Kent","value":13342}]
