Hi
In a Rails application i use text_with_autocomplete helper.
My problem is in a Compose Message page :
Imagine a textfield, where i should type my email adresses : i can
type many emails separated by colon.
- in the view : <%=text_field_with_auto_complete("message", "to",
{:size =>90}, :skip_style => true) %>
- My controller action splits the received string that could be
'[EMAIL PROTECTED], yo' , and does the search on the last string 'yo'
- The partial to show the list woould be then :
<ul>
<li id="user_1">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</li>
<li id="user_2">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</li>
</ul>
My problem is now to append/replace in my text field the current value
before autocompletion ( '[EMAIL PROTECTED], yo' ) by :
Imagine the selected value from the drop down list is
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
I'd like to split the textfield value, and replace the second string
'yo' by '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', to have as a final result in the
textfield : '[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]'
I tried :before_update_element but that doesn't work
Any help would be appreciated
