[I sent this message via email to [email protected], but it
seems to have been sucked into some Google black hole. On the off
chance it makes it through anyway, I apologize in advance for the
dupe.]
I understand that Autocomplete will not be included in 1.6.
Autocomplete is indeed fairly quirky. It's probably a good idea to
defer it to 1.7. But it's an exceedingly useful plugin, IMO. I do
have
some feedback:
Firstly, on Firefox, holding the up/down arrows in the popup menu does
not continue to select items up or down the menu. The following code
(which I've reformatted in anticipation that this google groups
webform would mangle it) is
the culprit:
// only opera doesn't trigger keydown multiple times while
// pressed, others don't work with keypress at all
$input.bind(($.browser.opera ? "keypress" : "keydown")
+ ".autocomplete", function(event) {
This is somewhat dubious. For a previous project, I actually
developed
an autocomplete widget similar to the one in jQuery UI, and had faced
this issue. I came to entirely different conclusions. From my code:
// Firefox doesn't fire multiple keydown events when keys are
held,
// whereas IE does. But IE doesn't fire keypress events for arrow
// keys. So we use 'keydown' for IE, and 'keypress' otherwise.
var key_event = $.browser.msie ? 'keydown' : 'keypress';
When I change the jQuery UI autocomplete code to match this logic, it
seems to work with no ill effects. (This works with Opera as well,
but
I have not tested Safari.)
Secondly, changing any options added to this.options in the _init()
function does not work. These options are, specifically, delay, max,
highlight, and formatMatch. That is to say, if I do ...
$('input').autocomplete({
url: '/someurl',
max: 25,
delay: 100
})
... delay is still 400 (the URL is not hit until 400ms after typing),
and max is still 150 (the limit variable in the GET request is 150).
Thirdly, I would very much like separate behaviour for TAB and RETURN.
Currently you can either enable selectFirst for both, or disable for
both. I would like TAB to select first, but RETURN _not_ to. In
fact,
I see this as the sanest default setting, too.
Thanks for all your hard work on jQuery UI!
Cheers,
Jason.
