Hi everyone , i'm trying to play with Jquery AutoCompleteField from wobnderful clickclick project .... What i'm trying to do is submit extra params to the server when requesting the list for autocomplete field. (i.e. i choose state first, then autosuggest city that are only in that state ). Jquery autocomplete plugin has a nice feature that allow to define extra params to send with the ajax request for autocomplete.
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete#Dependencies_between_fields. I tried it, but when i set this particular option, the server method for getting suggestion list doesn't get invoked !!!! Removing the option from jquery $('selector').autocomplete( url , options ) gets JQAutoCompleteField to work again. I tried to sniff HTTP dialog between client and server and i noticed that where JQuery autocomplete with extraParam options on, request to the server are made whit type='application/xml' . When extraParam is off, request type = 'text/plain'. It seems like when request type of the ajax request is not text/plain, Click isn't able to invoke the JQAutoCompleteFiled listener. As someone any idea ? Is that a Click or a JQuery iussue ? -- Marco
