Hi David,
I've tried to extend the class using the methods shown on these two
websites:
http://techno-weenie.net/2006/1/30/extending_autocompleter
http://tetlaw.id.au/view/blog/adding-a-local-cache-to-ajaxautocompleter/
This is what I tried, but doesn't seem to work:
Autocompleter.Custom = Class.create();
Object.extend(Object.extend(Autocompleter.Custom.prototype,
Autocompleter.Base.prototype), {
initialize: function(element, update, url, options) {
this.baseInitialize(element, update, options);
this.options.onShow = this.options.onShow ||
function(element, update){
if(!update.style.position ||
update.style.position=='absolute') {
update.style.position = 'absolute';
Position.clone(element, update, {
setHeight: false,
offsetTop: element.offsetHeight+20
});
}
Effect.Appear(update,{duration:0.15});
};
}});
I figured the position is being set through the constructor of the
class, so I just tried to add another 20 pixels to the offsetTop, to
see whether it would move 20px down. But like I mentioned; it throws
it can't find getUpdatedChoices function which is being called later
on in the class..
Thanks for the help
