Hello,
I am going to jump on this thread since I have some AutoComplete
questions and will probably have more. Its too bad i didn't see this
before it was a struggle to get the hidden field to work. Has anyone
been able to set the attributes of the textfield and hiddenfield? If
I want to do some ajax when the user does select something from the
autocomplete what is the best method without breaking the widget? I
was thinking of adding an onChange method to the hidden field so that
when a name is selected from the my list and it stores the id then the
onchange js function will be called and I can go to the server and get
the information for that name using Javascript.
Right now I use this which does nothing(no errors, just nothing):
attrs = {}
attrs['text'] = dict(size=150)
attrs['hidden'] = dict(onchange="selectPlant()")
form = TableForm(
fields=[
AutoCompleteField(name='plantName',
search_controller='getPlants', search_param='rawSearchWords',
result_name='results', label="Plant:",
attrs=attrs),...
Maybe my dictionary is setup wrong I can't really see why this doesn't work.
Thanks,
-Ian
