jquery-ui-autocomplete

I am using jQuery UI autocomplete and trying to implement the autoFocus option. The documentation states the following: If set to true the first item will be automatically focused. I created a basic example and cannot get to work. I must be missing something obvious. See here: http://jsfiddle.net/9bQJX/ $("#autocomplete").autocomplete({ source: [ "ActionScript", "AppleScript", "Asp", "BASIC", "C", "C++", "Clojure", "COBOL", "ColdFusion", "Erlang", "Fortran", "Groovy", "Haskell", "Java", "JavaScript", "Lisp", "Perl", "PHP", "Python", "Ruby", "Scala", "Scheme" ], autoFocus: true }); You're using

Can any one help me how to select first element of autocomplete dropdown list if no element is selected? I tried with autoFocus. working for key board events. If I use mouse, the first element is not selecting which is auto focused. sandeep.gosavi visit here for answer $('#txt_search_city').autocomplete({ source: url, delay: 0, autoFocus: true, select: function( event, ui ) { $( "#id_city" ).val( ui.item.id ); $(this).closest('form').submit(); }, focus: function( event, ui ) { event.preventDefault(); } }); You can override the focus event to fill the textbox with the focused item's value: $("

I've done some searching, and this seems to be a not uncommon problem, but none of the solutions posted seem to be working for me. I've tried a few different methods: jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery( "#on-good-terms-add-term" ).autocomplete({ source: ongoodtermsavailableTags, }); jQuery( "#on-good-terms-add-term" ).result(function(event, data, formatted) { alert(data); }); }); and jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery( "#on-good-terms-add-term" ).autocomplete({ source: ongoodtermsavailableTags, }).result(function(event, data, formatted) { alert(data); }); }); Both give me the

I have used the jquery-ui to autocomplete an input box and set a hidden value from the selected item. This I did using the select: function(event, ui) { ...$("#myDiv").val(ui.item.value)... } option (might be wrong now, don't have the code at hand, but it works up until my question...) It works when select an item from the menu with the mouse, however if I just enter some text and choose an item with Enter - it does not do anything, it is as if the select is not run at all by the autocomplete function. However, tabbing out of the box triggers the select. I have used a focus and change: to also

I have the following code. It generates no js errors. Can't get the autocomplete to display any results: $(function() { $.ajax({ url: "data.xml", dataType: "xml", cache: false, success: function (xmlResponse) { var data_results = $("Entry", xmlResponse).map(function () { return { var1: $.trim($("Partno", this).text()), var2: $.trim($("Description", this).text()), var3: $.trim($("SapCode", this).text()), var4: $("Title", this).text(), var5: $.trim($("File", this).text()), var6: $.trim($("ItemID", this).text()) }; }).get(); $("#searchresults").autocomplete({ source: data_results, minLength: 3,

I am using jQuery UI Autocomplete to build a search interface. I have defined a custom function which returns search results and updates them automatically as keys are pressed however, sometimes this custom function doesn't complete before the next key is pressed (i.e. its still processing "Wash" when I have already written "Washi" (on the way to writing "Washington"). I would like every call to the autocomplete "source" event to cancel the previous function(Wash) and start the new function(Washi). With the next call cancelling function(Washi) and starting function (Washin) and so on. How is

I'm newbie to js. I found autocomplete tutorial and it works well.But autocomplete script configured for multiple values from db. It adds comma every time after found keyword then searchs for new keyword again. How to rewrite it for single value? acompl.js $(function() { function split( val ) { return val.split( /,\s*/ ); } function extractLast( term ) { return split( term ).pop(); } $( "#region" ) // don't navigate away from the field on tab when selecting an item .bind( "keydown", function( event ) { if ( event.keyCode === $.ui.keyCode.TAB && $( this ).data( "autocomplete" ).menu.active ) {

I am using jQuery-ui autocomplete . Here is how i use it <form action="go.php" method="post"> <input id="txt" type="text" /> </form> <script> $('#txt').autocomplete({ source: [{'label': 'milan', 'value': '1'}, {'label': 'minos', 'value': '2'}] }) </script> When i type 'mi', milan and minos shows up.No problem with that. However when i focus on them with down key value of #txt changes to 1 (value for milan) instead of milan . How can i show milan when i focus on it. Thanks Because the default behavior of the select event is to show the value not the label , so you need to simply: - return false

I'm trying to add some functionality to jQuery plugin tag-it based on auto-complete : a) I try to filtering my JSON data to display only name of tag. A JSON sample returned by /repo/json : [{id:1, name:"0.8-alpha-1", category:"version"}, {id:2, name:"0.8-alpha-2", category:"version"}, {id:3, name:"0.8-alpha-3", category:"version"}, {id:4, name:"0.8-alpha-4", category:"version"}, {id:5, name:"0.8-alpha-1", category:"version"}, {id:6, name:"0.8-alpha-2", category:"version"}, {id:7, name:"0.8-alpha-3", category:"version"}, {id:8, name:"0.8-alpha-4", category:"version"}] b) I want to submit the id
