Hi All, I am using the Tapestry autocomplete mixin, and I have bound it onto a customized search textfield, my use case is very simple, all I need to do is submit the existing search form after a selection is made in the autocompleter.
I have seen this same question pop-up from time to time on the list, but the existing solutions in these old posts seem a tiny bit hackish for my liking (i.e.: manually rewriting the parameter as a string rather than JSON and overriding the internal mixin class) so I was wandering in Tapestry 5.3 if there is a more elegant way to do this now? I found this snippet: > The scriptaculous Ajax.Autocompleter does support > updateElement and afterUpdateElement methods, but as far as I can tell > you can't get them into the configuration because the JSONObject > quotes its attributes (making the function into a string). >From what I understand, it should be possible to execute the stringified >function using eval, (in theory at least... as yet untested), so if this is >the case invoking either of those supported methods would be trivial. This >appears to be a common use case, and it would be nice to support de-facto, if >you agree does a jira sound reasonable?
