I was wanting to add instructional text to the Autocomplete field (grey
text that goes away when you click the field). I did a bit of a hack
(which I included below). Wondering if I should make this less hack
like and submit a patch into TG?
MyCustomManager= function(name, groupid) {
this.name = name;
this.theAutoCompManager = eval("AutoCompleteManager" + this.name +
"_innerAutoComp");
}
MyCustomManager.prototype.initialize = function() {
// Hijack the focus function of the autoComplete field
this.oldFocus = this.theAutoCompManager.gotFocus;
this.theAutoCompManager.gotFocus = this.newFocus;
updateNodeAttributes(this.autoCompTextField, {"onfocus": this.newFocus
});
// Make the auto comp field larger
updateNodeAttributes(this.theAutoCompManager.textField, {"style":
"width: 50%; color: #666666"});
this.theAutoCompManager.textField.value = "Enter name of contact to
add to list";
}
MyCustomManager.prototype.newFocus = function(event) {
// Deal with crappy browser implementations
event=event||window.event;
var origReturn = this.oldFocus(event);
// Clear out the instructions for the first time focus
updateNodeAttributes(this.theAutoCompManager.textField, {"style":
"width: 50%; color: #000000"});
this.theAutoCompManager.textField.value = "";
// Reasign the old focus function
updateNodeAttributes(this.autoCompTextField, {"onfocus": this.oldFocus
});
return origReturn;
}
