Hi All,
I've recently had to figure out how to make the Scriptaculous
AutoComplete functionality make it's selection box appear above the
input. It's not a very elegant solution so was wondering if anyone had
created a nicer one.
Basically I've hacked the controls.js file..
1) I set a JS variable 'upDirection' to true on the page where the
Autocompleter needs to slide up.
2) in controls.js I've changed it in two places...
in baseInitialize after the line
update.style.position = 'absolute';
// New Bit Start
if (directionUp)
{
Position.clone(element, update, {
setHeight: false,
offsetLeft: -2,
offsetTop: (0 - update.getDimensions().height)
});
}
else
{
Position.clone(element, update, {
setHeight: false,
offsetTop: element.offsetHeight
});
}
// New Bit End
}
and a similiar change in updateChoices: after the child node IF
statement...
} else {
this.entryCount = 0;
}
// New Bit Start
this.update.style.position = 'absolute';
if (directionUp)
{
Position.clone(this.element, this.update, {
setHeight: false,
offsetLeft: -2,
offsetTop: (0 - this.update.getDimensions().height)
});
}
else
{
Position.clone(this.element, this.update, {
setHeight: false,
offsetTop: this.element.offsetHeight
});
}
Effect.Appear(this.update,{duration:0.15});
// New Bit End.
this.stopIndicator();
this.update.scrollTop = 0; // RP - Part 3 of window jump fix
this.index = 0;
Has someone thought of a better way to do this? Perhaps one not
involving hacking the changes.js
file?
Cheers
Sukh
