Re: autosuggest event with angle brackets

[Carol Knapp]

Edit: well that didn't come through at all clear. What I'm trying to say is 
that I need to pass the and-lt-semi and and-gt-semi (the html format version of 
the less than and greater than signs) inside of the list in order to get the 
autosuggest list to display them as angle brackets, but I don't want 
and-lt-semi and and-gt-semi to appear in the form field returned.

autosuggest event with angle brackets

[Carol Knapp]

I have a form field that needs to hold "firstname lastname " and 
I would like to use an autosuggest event to make it work. The problem is the 
angle brackets: I can get the autosuggest list to look right if I send it the 
suggested values using  but then it returns the  inside the 
field content. Is there some javascript I can use to replace the returned value 
with the version that uses the real angle brackets? 

Here's the test version of the code I'm using, adapted from the cf docs:

 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> 
 
 
 
  var init = function() 
  { 
autosuggestobj = 
ColdFusion.Autosuggest.getAutosuggestObject('nameemail'); 
autosuggestobj.itemSelectEvent.subscribe(foo); 
  } 
  var foo = function(event,args) 
  { 
var msg  = ""; 
msg = msg + "Event: " + event + "\n\n"; 
msg = msg + "Selected Item: " + args[2] + "\n\n"; 
msg = msg + "Index: " + args[1]._nItemIndex + "\n\n"; 
var newmsg = msg.replace("<","<"); //just playing w/"replace"
var newnewmsg = newmsg.replace(">",">");
alert(newnewmsg); 
  } 
  var getName = function(){ 
return ["Joe Smith <joesm...@.com>","Jane Smythe 
<jsmy...@456.com> ","Jon Gggg <j...@jgjg.net>","Clyde Farmer 
<clydefar...@z.com>","Alka Seltzer 
<aselt...@amazzz.com>","Pendant Hang <ph...@claws.com>","Penny Utah 
<pu...@zyxwvut.net>","Amy Winston <awins...@gluggg.org>"]; 
  }
