I'm relatively new to jQuery. I've been playing around w/the API a bit and
slowly implementing it into some work.
Today I've been making some modifications to the Autocomplete library to
meet certain requirements of a project. One of the modifications I've made
is to allow local data to be passed to the autocomplete plugin so that you
can use it without any additional AJAX calls.
However, I have a question that I can't seem to figure out. The plugin is
declared using the following:
jQuery.fn.autocomplete = function(url, options) {
// Make sure options exists
options = options || {};
// Set url as option
options.url = url;
// ... some more config code ...
this.each(function() {
var input = this;
new jQuery.autocomplete(input, options);
});
// Don't break the chain
return this;
}
What I'm looking to do is define another function that sets some different
default options but calls the jQuery.fn.autocomplete function.
I've tried:
jQuery.fn.autocompleteLocal = function(data, options) {
return jQuery.fn.autocomplete(null, options, data);
}
But this doesn't work. How can I extend the jQuery.fn.autocomplete plug-in
to do what I want?
Thanks,
Dan
