Hi,
I have auto_complete working generating a list and populating a text
box in a form. The problem arises when I add the :on_hide option as
follows:
<%= auto_complete_field “search”,
{ :url => {:action => “search”}, :on_hide => “foo($(‘selected_uid’),
$(‘search_list’))”} > %>
:on_hide makes everything stop working (‘search’ action doesn’t get
called); in addition, the div that is supposed to contain the
selection list becomes visible beneath the text box as an ugly grey
bar.
Also, the javascript in the on_hide parameter gets executed on page
load; why is that?
Here’s the generated html for the form:
Search by surname: <script type="text/javascript">
//
Anyone have some working auto_complete_field code that uses :on_hide
(or :on_show) that they could share?
Thanks!
