[web2py] Re: Passing arg from view to controller.

[Annet]

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your reply.

> $(function() {
>   $("#no_table_locality_args").autocomplete({
>     source: "{{=URL('hubaddressbook', 'locality_args_autocomplete')}}" +
> "/" + $(select#no_table_word).val(),

I tried the above, which made the view's JavaScript invalid, I had to
add '' to make it valid JavaScript:

$('select#no_table_word').val()

Testing this, results in the following url:

.../init/hubaddressbook/locality_args_autocomplete/?term=Am


Adding option:selected: $('select#no_table_word
option:selected').val() as in http://api.jquery.com/val/ doesn't make
any difference.


When I hard code the .val() part with "Coach":

$(function() {
  $("#no_table_locality_args").autocomplete({
    source: "{{=URL('hubaddressbook', 'locality_args_autocomplete')}}"
+ "/" + "Coach",
    minLength: 2
  });

It all works. The url:

.../init/hubaddressbook/locality_args_autocomplete/Coach?term=Am


Removing the the jQuery UI MultiSelect from the select doesn't make
any difference.



Kind regards,

Annet
