Hi
In a Rails application i use text_with_autocomplete helper.
My problem is in a Compose Message page :
Imagine a textfield, where i should type my email adresses : i can
type many emails separated by colon.
- in the view : <%=text_field_with_auto_complete(“message”, “to”,
{:size =>90}, :skip_style => true) %> - My controller action splits the received string that could be
‘[email protected], yo’ , and does the search on the last string ‘yo’ - The partial to show the list woould be then :
My problem is now to append/replace in my text field the current value
before autocompletion ( ‘[email protected], yo’ ) by :
Imagine the selected value from the drop down list is
‘[email protected]’
I’d like to split the textfield value, and replace the second string
‘yo’ by ‘[email protected]’, to have as a final result in the
textfield : ‘[email protected], [email protected]’
I tried :before_update_element but that doesn’t work
Any help would be appreciated
