And a few more things on usability:
- an Enter or Tab selection. I know that both are already used in form
submission and navigation respectively. But it would be nice to let the user
choose what key he wants in the constructor.
- once the user chooses something, this should be considered "chosen" and
the proposal div should not be displayed again if the user navigates back
and forth the controls, unless he changes again the text in the autocomplete
field.
And one more test and proposal for the focus thing:
- try autocomplete on an input with the autofocus attribute. "Enter a
location" should not be displayed. The options arguments in the Autocomplete
contructor should say something like:
var options = {
emtyText: "Enter a location";
}
This for at least two reasons:
1. internationalization (correct me if I-'m wrong and this is handled by an
option in the maps API URL already, but not sure if that fits all needs)
2. letting users write their own text, and possibly empty if someone writes
the text outside the field

Gabriel
