[Proto-Scripty] Re: How to display searched charaacters in autocomplete in Bold
There is no in-built mechanism within Scriptaculous itself which will do
hightlight of letters automatically???
Thanks!

I would do this in your server-side code. Something like: (untested
PHP!)
function matchPart($part)
{
$matches = getMatches($part);
$result = "n";
foreach ($match in $matches) {
$result .= "".preg_replace("/$part/g", "$part",
$match)."."\n";
}
// Return your $result however you're doing it ...
}
Ajax.Autocompleter IIRC concatenates all the text nodes from the
selected , so the tags would just be omitted in the submitted
value.

Why not to do it on your own? E.g. smth like this?
var st = result.toLowerCase().indexOf(keyword.toLowerCase());
if (st != -1) {
var output = result.substring(0, st) + '' +
result.substring(st, st + keyword.length) + '' +
result.substring(st + keyword.length);
}
else {
var output = result;
}
