Hi. I am using XCombo with filtering mode enabled. Currently, the xCombo fires an http request each time a character gets typed ion the box. Can we have a controlled delay time before xCombo fires its http request?
The problem I am having is that the user can type faster than the http request issued by the xCombo. Each http request goes to the database, executes a SQL command, gets the options, put them in XML formatted string, sends it back to teh xCombo. This is a slow process to catch up
Say the user is trying to type “Philip Jordan”, he types “P” and a list comes back with all options that start with “P”, then when he types “h” a list comes back with all options start with “Ph”, so on so. But what we need to do is to wait until the user finishes typing and - say half a second later - before the http request gets fired.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Daniel
Can be done with small code modifications
dhtmlxcombo.js , line 938
if (this._load) this._load=url;
else this.loadXML(url);
Can be changed as
if (this._load) this._load=url;
else {
var that=this;
if (this._timeout) window.clearTimeout(this._timeout);
this._timeout=window.setTimeout(function(){
that.loadXML(url);
},500);
}
