I needed some modifications to the autocomplete library that Dylan Verheul released, and I wanted to share the modded library:
http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm Here are some of the things I fixed/changed: * Supports local data array (can now use w/out AJAX). * Limit dropdown to XX number of results (good for limiting the results to users) * Autofill pre-populates text box as you type * New findValue() method can be used to programmatically determine if the value in the box is a valid option. (Useful for verifying the text entered is an existing value option.) * Dropdown options now correctly re-position themselves on each display (which means they adjust for changing to the DOM) * Dropdown box defaults to the width of the input field its attached to (you can manually specify a larger width as well) * Better emulates Windows autocomplete boxes (for example: hitting delete and retyping the same box will now bring back the dropdown menu) * Miscellaneous bug fixes -Dan _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
