you need to return the value in realt time ... for example in the auto
completer....
'the_select_box_value' : function () {return
$('the-select-box-id').value()},
Hope this helps

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Ajax.Autocompleter
Hello,
I am trying to use Autocompleter to search through different tables.
Hardcoding a specific table returns expected results from that table,
so the script is working as expected.
What i want to do is, use a select box with an 'onchange' event that
passes the chosen value to the Ajax.Autocompleter object. the value is
use to create a 'parameters: "id="+xxx' string that should be used in
the Ajax.Autocompleter object.
Here is what i have:
window.onload = function() {
var cat_id=88;
ac = new Ajax.Autocompleter("sterm",
"autocomplete_choices",
"/Property/search/
ajaxAutoComplete",
{ parameters:
'sid='+cat_id } );
alert('The value of ac parameters is: ' +
ac.options.parameters + ' and options are: ' + ac.options.toSource() +
'.');
}
function startAutocomplete(obj) {
ac.options.parameters='sid='+obj.value;
alert('The value of sid is: ' + ac.options.parameters
+ '.');
document.searchForm.sterm.value='';
}
and on my select box: onchange="startAutocomplete(this)"
All the alert boxes are showing the correct information, but when I
type anything in the textfield to be 'autocompleted', parameters:
'sid=88' is only being sent.
if i leave out the 'parameters: 'sid='+cat_id' no parameters string
is sent at all.
Is there any way to change the value on the fly of the parameters
being sent?
I tried creating a new Ajax.Autocompleter onchange, but that only
created new ones ever time i changed the list but still keep the
original ones, so multiple instances of Ajax.Autocompleter were being
submitted.
Thanks.
