I am trying to implement a "global search" feature, that is available above our main menu, in all Views within our application. It looks like this: The "global search" is a jQuery autocomplete input field. It resides in our _Layout.cshtml, which is a shared View and gets loaded many times by other views. Essentially it will display an auto-suggestion list for search keywords. Our list of keyword suggestions is roughly 6000 items. Our HomeController looks like this: public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } public ActionResult Home() { ViewBag

i'm trying to implement the jquery autocomplete plugin. I've got it up and running, but something is not working properly. Basically i have a autocomplete-list of employees. The list is generated from a table in a sql-database (employee_names and employee_ID), using a VB.NET handler (.ashx file). The data is formatted as: employee_name-employee_ID. So far so good and all employees are listed in autocomplete. The problem is that i don't know how to redirect a user to a certain page (for example employee_profile.aspx) when they've selected an employee from autocomplete. This is my redirect-code,

I've used some code from a combobox demo, and now that i am trying to add some classes to the list-items, the _renderItem and _renderMenu, has no effect. the code (with some irrelevant lines, to make sure that i miss nothing) this.input = $("<input>") .appendTo(this.wrapper) .val(value) .attr("title", "") .addClass("custom-combobox-input ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-state-default ui-corner-left") .autocomplete({ autoFocus: true, response: function (event, ui) { if (ui.content.length == 0) { ui.content.push({ label: "new value: " + $(this).val(), value: $(this).val(), id: 0 }); } },

I am trying to setup an autocomplete field. I'v read the JQuery UI documentation, but all the example assume the source is a static list of items from which JQuery will pick matching entries (I mean static = the list is complete and doesn't depend on what the user typed). Here is the code from the "remote datasource" example: $( "#birds" ).autocomplete({ source: "search.php", ... I would like JQuery to call search.php?query=mytext (this URL returning a list of matching items) because I need to lookup suggestions in a database using PHP. Is there a way to do that? Maybe I didn't understand the

Is there any way to display the Autocomplete result set above the text input? The problem is that I am using it in a lighbox application. The background element being set to 100% of the pages' height and width, it will naturally not expand with its content. So if the content above the text box increases so much that the input is forced towards the bottom of the page, and then the user types something into it, the autocomplete menu appears, and the input being towards the end of the page, the menu causes scrollbars to appear Since the background element (dark colored) won't expand to

It overrides properly in the first autocomplete found, but do nothing with the rest. Instead it loads the original _renderitem method that you can see at https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/blob/master/ui/jquery.ui.autocomplete.js#L449 . $(".someClassWithMultipleItemsOnDOM").autocomplete({ delay:500, minLength:2, source:path" ..... }).data( "autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) { thanks in advance There's a workaround for this problem: var autoc = { delay: 500, minLength: 2, source: path, ..... }; var renderItem = function (ul, item) { return $("<li></li>") .data("item

I'm trying to get the jQuery Automcomplete thing to work, but it wont do as i want :P This is my code: JavaScript: $("#CustomerID").autocomplete({ source: function(request, response) { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "/customer/search", dataType: "json", data: { term: request.term }, error: function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) { alert('Error: ' + xhr.responseText); }, success: function(data) { response($.map(data, function(c) { return { label: c.Company, value: c.ID } })); } }); }, minLength: 2, select: function(event, ui) { alert('Select'); } }); ASP MVC: [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public
